Freeway and Jake One are dropping their The Stimulus Package collaboration on February 16, 2010, and….yours truly will be hosting the record release concert at the Highline Ballroom on Feb. 16 as well. (cop tickets!)
But we also got first peek at the next level CD-packaging that Rhymesayers Records and Ego Trip designer Brent Rollins put together. Ok, I’m completely biased because I adore Brent, he’s an old friend, and he did an amazing job designing my “Bling: Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels” book a few years back. But just look at the detail on the Stimulus Package package…the dollars, the worn out wallet, the credit cards that let you download Jake One’s instrumentals…this is an instant hip hop collectible. Is this the best album packaging you’ve ever seen?
It just makes alot of sense to me–when fewer people are buying CDs, create something valuable beyond the digital information burned onto it. Fetishize it!
PREVIOUS: Freeway – Trap Door
thats DOPE
That’s what’s up, I hope that track freeway rapping is on the album..Def Cop For Sure
thats gotta be the best album packaging ever
nice
Yeah I would have to agree, that’s the best and most creative packaging I’ve ever seen. Freeway made a good move signing with Rhymesayers – they’re willing to do unique shit like this.
Im buying this.
Very original. Hope i can get it in the u.k
THATS SOME OF THE ILLEST PACKAGING EVER! DOPE! MUST COP!!
i will be copping this fuck buying digital
yeah that packaging make u want to get that it oringnal like the purple tape
lmao! thats FRESH!
yeh i hope u can get it in U.K also. #amazon
Thats brilliant, at least Free is doing shit different instead of a close up pic wit cars, chicks and money everywhere (Yeah, i know money…)
Looks awesome.
But really, what we should be discussing is the title track. Sounds crazy!
Dope! I will be copping this next month… Freezer is back!!!
That shit looks dope as hell. Jake One’s production is dope as hell, can’t wait to hear this. Too bad Freeway didn’t sign with Rhymesayers straight out, that would have been great.
This shows you how Graphic Design is a lot more than just knowing how to throw some shit together in Photoshop…
this is ridiculous. in a good way. all artists need to take note. im speechless. this is awesome.
