We Get High (Produced By Marty McFly) is the intro track to #JakeLegend2. These 16 bars are an ode to marijuana while flexing my lyricism and skill, something I do for the majority of the tape.

The 12th and final song on Jake Legend. This track is a summation of what I’ve been talking about for the entire project. My unique perspectives on the game, the state of hip-hop, women, the state of my life and chasing success are all on full display in this song. It closes out the first chapter in, perhaps, a long story to unfold.

This is the 10th track on Jake Legend. The definition of a freeverse, I’m talking about nothing in particular here. More flexing the steez than anything.

Mackin' is the 9th track on Jake Legend and it is about precisely that: mackin'. Both Stevebo and I spin some rhymes about being a West Coast player and running game.

Ladies is the 7th song of 12 on Jake Legend. It is a tale of a woman and my feelings for her. There is no one woman in particular that I’m speaking of, mainly cuz I’m not a one woman kind of guy. I’m a no woman kind of guy that gets no love, but no need to talk about that right now.

On Tha Edge is track number six on Jake Legend. A bit more focused than most of the tracks on this tape, On Tha Edge depicts me as a legendary/mythical figure viewing the world through a dark lens. The landscape of this song is post-apocalyptic, hence the Matrix references, Bible references, and rhymes about death.

Track number five on Jake Legend. In this one I’m lamenting on the state of hip-hop and plotting on how I can change it.

http://emmothekid.bandcamp.com/track/2-faced

2 Faced, the fourth song on Jake Legend, is a song about seduction and the two perspectives on that seduction. I run down the pros and cons of letting me have my way to a woman before revealing that the woman is hip-hop (in an indirect manner.) It’s cliche, it’s different, it’s cool.

Track 2 on Jake Legend, Laid Back touches on several topics but it’s mainly about maintaining a level head.

As with most of my songs I tend to let my pen run and let my mind go; focusing my attention on the verbal acrobatics and allowing the lyrics/topics to form themselves.
