As an emcee, dee jay, producer and CEO of his aptly named company Triple Threat Productions, J-Live's music has been a staple of inspiration for listeners of underground hip hop from New York to Cali and around the world.
His discography spans over 10 years and includes three full length albums and countless guest appearances and features. In support of these records J-Live has toured around the world many times over including Canada, the UK, Europe, The Middle East, Africa, Japan, and Australia... and now on the back of his 4th album entitled ‘Then What Happened?’ J-Live along with his DJ Flo fader will be hitting Australia to do it all over again, bigger and better than before!
"Who in their right mind think they can put a stop to hip hop / If it don’t stop till I stop, and I don’t stop till it stop". J-Live’s prophetic first single from 1995 “Longevity” laid the foundations for a career of over 12 years and counting in the rap game. Never cutting corners on quality or substance, J-Live is one of true preservers of real hip hop.
The new album features longtime collaborator Jazzy Jeff who comes correct with sick beats on the opener “One to 31”, while J-Live rhymes and flows about his life like he was born doing it. DJ Spinna also returns with some more classic beats.The old school bounce is represented on this LP too, when Dj Nu-Mark and Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 do what they do so well and take things to the club with “The Zone”.
