J-Live
Our critics' picks in new releases
"One for the Griot" features a beat by Usef Dinero. How crazy is this song? Crazy. J tells the story of player's night and then flips it two times over a chilly beat. "Nights Like This" (also with a beat by Usef), features J and singer Rokafella riding a spacey beat into the sunset in a hypnotic style. "Do That $#!%," produced by DJ Spinna and DJ Chaos featuring El da Sensai on the hook, is supa' funky with sharp-humble stingers like, "The only ice I need is in my LIT" (that's a Long Island Tea to you non-drinkers).
In the sleeve notes, J says the following about the song "MCEE": "Ain't much to it. I'm just flexin'. I like to play with words and carrying styles. So the second verse is mostly words starting with M and C." J produced that track as well, so you could also call All of the Above "Braggin' Writes." And this album is rated PG for all ages (no parental advisory needed). P phor Phunky and a G for Gr8 from K8! www.sevenheads.com.
