i have been waiting for this for weeks, and it’s finally here. star trak’s newest signees, rockstars chester french, deliver a mixtape free album just two weeks before their debut drops in stores everywhere. i’m serious.

as band members D.A. and Max explain,

“Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance” is a chronicle of the past six years of our lives. It tells our story, from the gymnasiums of Harvard to the hills of Hollywood. Unlike “Love the Future,” which we’ve written, arranged, performed, produced, and engineered by ourselves, “Jacques Jams” features a collection of new, original music that we created in the hills of Massachusetts and then invited some of our favorite artists to grace.

As young artists, we couldn’t be more grateful for this opporunity to collaborate with legends like Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Pharrell, Pusha, Talib Kweli, Bun B., The Mad Rapper, Kardinal Offishall, N.O.R.E, and Jadakiss as well as younger friends like Janelle Monae, Cassie, Wale, Solange, Lady Gaga, and Mickey Factz. All of these fantastic artists have been more than generous with their creativity and hard work, so we owe them an enormous debt. Clinton Sparks, above all, has tirelessly guided us toward success and endurance, a tall order with obnoxious perfectionists like us! We’d also like to thank Clinton’s manager, Daouda Leonard, for his endless help and beautifully manicured beard.”

so there you have it. what mixtape album has this many incredible guests on it? like, go back up and read the names in bold. i bolded them so you could see whose on the tape. no other rock act has this much pull, i’ll tell you that much. i’ve seen these guys live twice, and they were incredible. i implore you to scoop this freebie right here. it’s gonna be the best thing you’ve heard in a minute. seriously. the star power is way too serious on this joint.
