Album Reccomendation

If you don't know about J-Live, well, truth is I didn't either a few months ago.

J live is a guy that immediately went to the underground when it came to rapping (first appearing on DJ Mark Farina's Mushroom jazz CD.) Then he went from being an English teacher to pursuing a career in hip-hop after he got his degree from SUNY Albany.

This guy should be regarded as one of the best Emcees throughout Hip Hop history. I know it sounds ridiculous, i thought it was too until I listened to his album The Best Part, which is one of the most complete, accomplished albums in my opinion. There's no doubt in my mind that J-Live cannot just emcee, some of his crazy lyricism just blows my mind.

Example :

"My mentality is sorta like the boomarang effect over your head, but hits you in the back of the neck; fuckin wit Live, man, what the fuck you expect?
that's like your girl tossin yer salad to get yer respect"

The production is flawless. How Flawless is it?? Let's put it this way

The track produced by DJ Premier is not even the best produced track...yeah it's that good.

I'll even post a song for you guys, you need to hear the album. If you ever see this in a store, or multiple copies of it, buy all of it, its that good.
