Jake One or No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

I get emails from PR folk with mp3s every once in a while, and recently I got one for Jake One's "The Truth," off of his new "White Van Music" on Rhymesayers. Jake One has done production work for G-Unit, but this project shows him flexing his indie muscles with MCs like MF Doom.

I love "The Truth." I love the beat, I love Freeway's verse, and I particularly like Brother Ali's rhymes.

So now my free mp3 is costing me $14 for the Jake One album, and another $14 for Brother Ali's record, which I have to pick up now that I've heard how amazing the man is. Twenty eight bucks, all because of a free mp3. Damn.
