I am Jake Haze
Known for his controversial, & musical website,DaStashBox.com, Jake Haze knew taking over the mixtape scene in his local area wasn't going to be easy. So, he created the mixtapescene. Through his efforts, he has attained a strong local buzz, a strong following online, a more equally united musical community in his home town of Allentown, PA. His "Public Education" videos attract those looking for laughs. His musical skills attract the general audience.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Although he is re-introducing himself to the public, he is already well known in the local scene for the beats he made many artists in Allentown. His versatility in rapping and singing mixed with his diverse musical range make his style truly unique. "My music reflects my life", He says about his music: "My life is too complicated and diverse to be about only one sound. My life is rich in detail. I want that reflected in my music."Jake Haze never speaks about guns and material things in his rhyme: "I make music based on what I've lived and I'm living. Not about what I'd want my life to be, or pretend to be something I'm
not."
