Earlier this year, we profiled the prolific Yung Jake over, well, text messages on his online prescence, art career, music, and bridging the gaps between IRL and URL identities.
Last week, Jake revealed a teaser video for his song "Both" via Snapchat—of course, he didn't make it easy and it requires you to follow both of his accounts and watch the videos on two separate phones side by side. Today, we're premiering the track featuring G.O.O.D. Music's Charlie Heat that's a hypnotizing ode to having, obviously, two of the same thing—you know, bad bitches, Hpnotiq and Henny, among other things. This is the track that's going to make Yung Jake and Charlie Heat catapult to success.
According to Jake, the two met in the studio of course and recorded "Both" on a metronome. "Both" will appear on Heat's forthcoming album, The Good Work, which features Vic Mensa, Tdot ILLdude, Allan Kingdom, Freeway and is due out later this fall. He'll be performing at Webster Hall Sept. 24 as part of Hpnotiq House Party activation.
