Jake Palumbo

Jake Palumbo is a producer, emcee, mix engineer, dry humorist & the proprietor of independent label SpaceLAB Recordings.

A resident of Brooklyn, NYC since 2006, his early DIY hip-hop pursuits began in the unlikely location of Johnson City, TN – quitting his job at Sears to press up his debut “Future Dead Rapper” & beginning a long & strange journey on foot towards the “F-List Stardom” he jokes of eventually attaining through an unglamorous decade of grassroots touring, promotion & building one fan at a time.

His latest solo project “Plant-Based Libtard” was released on 7/7/22 via <a href="spotify:artist:71zqOJSd3LF9AkG7YwE914" data-name="SpaceLAB Recordings">SpaceLAB Recordings</a> / <a href="spotify:artist:1EPiG0L2TPSwjjKpk004TV" data-name="Soulspazm">Soulspazm</a>, &amp; is a 12-song deep-dive into scathing humor, political discourse, seething anger &amp; coping with heartbreak. The album follows his previous full-length efforts &#34;The Hundred-Thousandaire Hobo&#34; &amp; &#34;Jake It Till You Make It&#34; in conceptual continuity, but updates the sound with an apocalyptic urgency.

As a producer, he has released the critically acclaimed joint LP’s <a href="spotify:album:4jR3zxkETsMs0CqMFdPx8E" data-name="Solving Cases">Solving Cases</a> with <a href="spotify:artist:1MdXFbsQnABjfzSxlJLzRB" data-name="El Da Sensei">El Da Sensei</a>, <a href="spotify:album:5UxcI1GpstLt8lxYAW7nFW" data-name="Jake &amp; The Juxxman">Jake &amp; The Juxxman</a> with <a href="spotify:artist:34jkD9MaYCGeY9V1zqDGEP" data-name="Ruste Juxx">Ruste Juxx</a>, <a href="spotify:album:1NGGaxuUIIrwcLqImHrazg" data-name="Ironworld">Ironworld</a> with <a href="spotify:artist:7lGRDucWyS9fiNG9b1a2N8" data-name="Rock Mecca">Rock Mecca</a> &amp; many more, preferring to craft entire projects for artists instead of chasing placements.
