Early life and career

One of the store's other employees, the DJ Mr. Supreme heard the tape, and when he set up his Conception Records label, he used Dutton to create backing tracks.⁷ The first record he produced was Eclipse's "World Premier".⁸ His early influences included Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, and Marley Marl.⁹

Jake One produced the 2005 song "The Time Is Now" by professional wrestler John Cena; it has been Cena's entrance theme since.¹⁰

He has had tracks included on the soundtracks to films such as Get Rich or Die Tryin' (50 Cent's "I Don't Know Officer"), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift ("Jake Alert"), and Gone Baby Gone.¹⁴¹⁵¹⁶

In 2010, Jake One released two collaborative albums, The Stimulus Package with Freeway and Patience with Truthlive.¹⁷¹⁸
