We talk Jake's roots in Seattle, his work with G-Unit and Rick Ross and Future, beat tapes being jacked, the importance of the late J. Moore, growing up playing basketball with Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament, bandwagon Seahawks fans, refusing to acknowledge Oklahoma City's existence, recording and touring with Freeway, and so much more. We also talk Mayer's growing up in Ann Arbor, going to the University of Michigan, moving to NYC after high school, the unique stage name given to him in an early rap group, getting to be real-life friends with Snoop Dogg, being invited to play at Live at Daryl's House and choosing what Hall & Oates songs to play, how John Mayer and Kanye reached out via Twitter's early days, being huge in Japan, and of course, how Tuxedo came to be.
