When Jakey wins his first Grammy and is friends with all the big pop artists, we can't let him forget that he started his career by asking if games should bang.
The thing I love about Jakey’s style is that he has such an extensive knowledge of past and current media and mixes it into his work to make it feel new and familiar at the same time. The sample of the sorority chant is a great example of that
This is a great point! Cafeteria and Not Dead Yet are perfect examples of this as well. Plus the depth of his writing is something that gets missed. He is incredibly talented
@@tjorvne all of them got videos and you can get them on every major platform. I don't really see what constitutes something being considered "officially released"
I hope you’re proud of Pine Barrens. That song is legitimately fantastic and I can’t stop listening to it. I can’t wait to see you on tour someday :’) keep hustling brutha, take care, and enjoy the fruits of your labor
I genuinely have almost cried a few times because of how happy I am to see you’re back and not only happy but thriving and releasing your best work yet. Love you dawg
Teared up a bit when I saw the new release announcement. This man Jakey really doesn’t know how much his music made an impact on me and left a beautiful mark on the best periods of my life
It is no longer February but I just wanted to leave a comment saying that even if I have to wait all year, I'll wait. 2 years, I'll still wait. Whenever Jakey decides to come out with this album I will be just as excited as ever to hear it. I may not be a dinosaur sitting on a different planet across our galaxy but I still believe in you Jakey.
I hope this isn't an imposter syndrome kind of situation, because I genuinely love everything he's made. I don't even listen to much trap/hip-hop type stuff but I had all of his tracks in my Spotify top 100 last year. Looking forward to this album to say the least, whenever it is ready!
I cant believe Jakey spent this much time to collect all these mannequins Im insanely excited for your next projects and artistic endeavours man. I can't wait to see what you're gonna do next. Wish you the best!! Love ya man
@Killer Killer B bro just try to listen closely. The countdown sound is in sync with the beat percussion/kick drums. It blends in very well I had a hard time hearing it before
Jakey, I know you're taking your time to make sure the whole thing sounds amazing. I respect that, and am patiently waiting, but this track, THIS ONE I NEED IT Future edit: The album is out, I have heard this masterpiece. Thank you. The worth of the waiting was worth it.
It’s already been a year, man. This was easily my most anticipated album in so long, and I loved it. The amount of living that I’ve done to romcom has been incredible, and I’m so glad everything turned out the way they did. Dog bless, Mr Jequel
That sorority chant sample sounds so good! It gives an added bit of chaos to the already intense lyrics. I’ve been waiting for an album to come out for a long time and I’m so ready for February!
Jakey is the Kojima of RUclips bro, can literally wait a year just to upload a video about speedrunning and announce a new album and everyone loved them
JAKEY no matter how long it takes, you need to work on this to the point you feel proud of it and ready. Don't feed into any pressure and don't push yourself too hard. The best part of a passion project is the passion, so take your time, boo. 💋
Still patiently waiting for Romcom to drop and I still come here to listen to this banger of a track. I hope this track is actually longer because I love looping it.
this sample literally goes harder than a diamond. also I love how just blunt the lyrics are, really glad jakey had enough to power through his darktimes
the production is upped so much in this compared to the pre-not dead yet songs like medium and saintlike. to be clear i always loved the kind of amateur production on those tracks and still do, but these two new tracks today are legit man. these sound professional. keep it up dog bless
@Killer Killer B never said any of em are bad my man. saintlike south dakota medium moby dick are still crazy good and ive listened to them an insane amount of times over years and years. but you gotta admit this ep is a hugeeee stepup in production, its been close to half a decade since some of these songs dropped and its clear jakey has upped his craft since then
I wish the entire Drive Off a Bridge video was based on this concept. The actual video is cool as well but this one conveys more of the decadent melancholy that permeates this song. I love it.
last time I resonated with lyrics of yours was back when Saintlike dropped. You had me on Snapchat back then and I remember messaging you that I really liked the song but I didn't actually think I would hear anything back. But to my surprised, you did. Thanks for the new music man.
every now and then I come back to this teaser and listen how vastly different this version is from the eventual release. The improvements are insane honestly.
This track (and Pine Barrens) are absolute FIRE, but can we take a second to appreciate the album cover art? I've spent so much time staring at that image. It says a lot about the last couple years of our lives, and I love it.
This visual composition is such a natural progression from his earlier music videos, particularly Cafeteria, seeing him explore these ideas in more depth and with the ability to properly execute on them is incredible. Can't fucking wait Jakey, sending love your way.
jakey, i hope the work on the albums going well. I look forward to hearing the rest of the songs. Pine Barrens got me into the rest of your music and i can say that i am now not only a fan of you as a youtuber but as a musician as well. I wanted to say that if you are maybe feeling that the album isnt complete or finished, it may not ever feel that way. That’s the thing with personal projects, you always feel like you can do more, that it can be better, and that leads to never completing whatever it is. You may not be feeling this way, but just in case you are, i say go for it and put out the album, even if you aren’t 100% happy with it. You’ll feel better and i’m sure it’ll be great.
Man I feel like I've stumbled into the Jakeyverse at the perfect time. The beginning of something beautiful. Here's to success and happiness. Your charisma and talent and humor and hard work and open rawness are inspirational. Shoot for the moon and you'll end in the stars my guy
Shout out to all the fans patiently waiting for RomCom to drop
It’s been awhile with no words about its progress

I'm here everyday
still here
@@clam6254 same
Babe wake up, new Jaquan the Jequel just dropped
Hey
Must have been in a coma.
holy shit it’s eyezayar the funny haha lego batman guy
The sorority chant sample is so insanely creative I got chills the first time I heard it. So excited for the full version of this track.
He’s also sampling gran turismo
@@HERBWELSHMAN Which GT song?
@@sanderstrebor not a song, the race start sound effects
@@HERBWELSHMAN HOLY SHIT YOURE RIGHT
didnt even realize it was sorority chanting till the second watch lol
I keep coming back to this over and over. Really hoping this is the next single
It’s a whole album
SAME. this track goes SO FUCKING HARD and i stg it's gonna be my most streamed song of 2022
@@LoveSickWorld I meant the specific track in the clip lol
The specific song playing is "drive off a bridge", which is the first track in this album.
@@Ceelker He knows I think he means usually one more single will release from the album before it drops and he’s hoping it’s this one
Only OG's here in the unknown hidden layer. MISSED YOU SO MUCH MAN THE SORORITY CHANT SAMPLE IS SOMETHING I NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF HOLYY
The bottom layer of the lasagna gang
fr fr
I appreciate the title of “an OG of The hidden layer”
literally cant believe he sampled that chant and made it into a banger
wouldnt miss jakey's shit for the world
When Jakey wins his first Grammy and is friends with all the big pop artists, we can't let him forget that he started his career by asking if games should bang.
Ahahahahah, don't forget the Rap reviews.
And sampling Kingdom Hearts while doing so!
Legitimately one of the greatest samples I've ever heard in a song. Jakey is just talented af at sampling.
At singing too
I like it
Game buzzer’s a dope touch too
Where that sample came from? I mean the chore and the bests .its sooo goood
@@jnsn94 look up alpha delta pi Texas sorority’s terrifying recruitment video
is he singing AND producing his own beats?
I don't mind that the release overdue, it only makes me more excited to see it come out the way he intended it to be
I don’t care if it takes a while either, I just hope it DOES release 😫
He should at least say something. At least just “heads up it’s overdue”. We’re just waiting with no word
@@zacktrujillo3473 He did on instagram
Exact same boat, man. My hype still hasn’t dwindled, not a bit.
Disagree, dont make a release date if you aren't prepared for it
The thing I love about Jakey’s style is that he has such an extensive knowledge of past and current media and mixes it into his work to make it feel new and familiar at the same time. The sample of the sorority chant is a great example of that
Turning "I wanna go A D Pi" from the chant into "I wanna go 85" was BRILLIANT
I really liked his use of the golden eye death sounds and slaps in You Know My Name lol
This is a great point! Cafeteria and Not Dead Yet are perfect examples of this as well. Plus the depth of his writing is something that gets missed. He is incredibly talented
same with the grand turismo 3 stoplight sample here.
Does anyone know where the beginning from Pine Barrens is from? I assume a Dating show
the amount of times I"ve listened to this loop is insane. I"m so psyched for the album!
Can confirm, Rom Com was worth the wait
man this opening goes hard, I can't believe we're finally getting the Jakey debut album. Love seeing you constantly improve man.
nah man his debut was "dead friends" a year or two back
@@j.t.1280 I thought it didn’t get fully released though
@@ErisDeepSeaCocoon it got fully released, maybe not with marketing or shows or anything videos but it was available everywhere and definitely debuted
@@j.t.1280 I thought only a few singles came out of the album? It never actually fully released, right?

Preach 💯🙏
That sorority chant might be your nastiest sample yet, I'm so god damn excited
The gran turismo sample is just straight perfection
ngl I still kinda wish this was the album cover used but either way great album
I genuinely have almost cried a few times because of how happy I am to see you’re back and not only happy but thriving and releasing your best work yet. Love you dawg

I can't wait for the 18th. I'm so hyped.
Patiently waiting for the album because this sample alone didn’t have to go this hard
I swear this song, music video production, and album cover is putting the big record label dogs to shame. Keep on rocking in the free world, Jakey!
Du tudulutu, tu tu!
JAKEY IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY PLEASE I NEED THIS ALBUM
have had this and pine barrens stuck in my head since you dropped them cant wait to see the full album release in febuary
If jakey don't drop this album I'll have to take things into my own hands
I cant believe Jakey spent this much time to collect all these mannequins
Im insanely excited for your next projects and artistic endeavours man. I can't wait to see what you're gonna do next. Wish you the best!! Love ya man
The Gran Turismo sample is so fucking genius and slaps so god damn hard.
Seriously, good to have you back, chief. Keep killing it.
@Killer Killer B i think its in all of them, its the start countdown btw ruclips.net/video/u0Rw7DDmSGk/видео.html
@Killer Killer B listen to like the last 10 seconds of the song, pretty sure the start sound is in there
@Killer Killer B love you too man, happy holidays to you and yours. stay safe out there dog bless
@Killer Killer B bro just try to listen closely. The countdown sound is in sync with the beat percussion/kick drums. It blends in very well I had a hard time hearing it before
Jakey, I know you're taking your time to make sure the whole thing sounds amazing. I respect that, and am patiently waiting, but this track, THIS ONE I NEED IT
Future edit: The album is out, I have heard this masterpiece. Thank you. The worth of the waiting was worth it.
It's an honor to live in a lifetime where Jaquan uploads, its a rare natural occurrence
Reminds me of Medium. I‘m digging this vibe a lot. Continue the good work dude, you have so much potential.
My body is so ready!!!!! I am needing this album in my body holes.
Literally counting the days. I am more hyped for this than I have been for literally any album ever.
I want this album so bad. The wait is killing me, but I know it’ll be worth it.
It’s already been a year, man. This was easily my most anticipated album in so long, and I loved it. The amount of living that I’ve done to romcom has been incredible, and I’m so glad everything turned out the way they did. Dog bless, Mr Jequel
If there isn’t a merch drop with this album, I’m gonna go 85.
Shoutout to everyone here well after the album dropped but you came back because this teaser looks really cool.
i’ve been checking his spotify everyday since february… i cannot wait
The orchestral sounds just take this to another level. CANT WAIT
It's a sample from Shadow of the Colossus, and I love that. I love how subtle but amazing Jakey's samples are.
@@tiernanmcculloch that’s so cool!😍

i cannot fucking wait those gran turismo sound effects are perfect

We gather here today to celebrate a massive dub. Congratulations everybody.
I wanna let you know that this beat is the most atmospheric thing I've heard in years, maybe ever.

End of February no romcom 😢😶🌫️

Waiting patiently for the album 🙏🙏🙏

Almost 2 years later, this preview still gives me chills man. Jeeezzz...
Jakey is the Kojima of RUclips bro, can literally wait a year just to upload a video about speedrunning and announce a new album and everyone loved them
Been literally looping this it goes so hard. Lmk if you need a drummer for tour. Been doing it for 4 years and MAN UR SHIZZLE WOULD KIZZLE live.
Nakey’s twin is here, glad to see you!
if ur reading this take ur time. we’ll be here for it, i promise.
Bruh i've been listening on loop for hours, I'm so hyped for this album. Jakey's so talented man
What a damn tease this whole month has been...
Commence checking this every day until the album is out
Part of me is sad that the album isn't ready, but I'm also so happy we got this teaser because it's so so good.
Its been so long , i want this so bad.
This man came into my life out of nowhere back in 2018 and left without a trace , i really miss him...
JAKEY no matter how long it takes, you need to work on this to the point you feel proud of it and ready. Don't feed into any pressure and don't push yourself too hard. The best part of a passion project is the passion, so take your time, boo. 💋
Still waiting and listing to this in the mean time. LETS GO!!!
Love the Gran Turismo countdown in the beat. Awesome stuff.
Everyone talking about the sorority sample but nobody talking about the freakin shadow of the colossus sample
If this and pine barrens is a reflection of the album, we got an absolute banger to look forward to.
Good god man I cannot wait for Romcom to drop. I keep coming back to this, this song is the vibe I've been feeling lately and I need it haha
Still patiently waiting for Romcom to drop and I still come here to listen to this banger of a track. I hope this track is actually longer because I love looping it.
This man took a viral video of some scary white girls and turned it into a stone cold banger
Ay Jakey Ima nobody but it makes me really proud to see ya chase your dream like this
who else watching this on the last day of feb with no jakey album
already have had this on repeat the same way i did when medium came out, keep it up man holy cow

For some reasons this beat makes me emotional
Okay, I was wondering if I was the only one. Not sure why though either.
Genuinely one of the most hype album trailers I've seen. This shit goes so hard😩🙌
this such a good snippit ive been listening to this on repeat
Hopefully jakey the late pizza boy sees this: Take however much time you need to polish this album. I know it'll be great.
Your record will be the first one I'm actually buying in like 13 years.
Patiently waiting for this masterpiece
