KevTastic Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Ok some of you may be well aware of this but just read a bulletin from J-Live on myspace about his next release 1 The Incredible (produced by Jazzy Jeff) 2 Once Upon a Mic (produced by Oddisee) 3 Practice The Magnificent Remix (produced by DJ Jazzy Jeff) 4 Feel Like Spittin’ (produced by Da Beatminerz) 5 Red Light Green Light (produced by DJ Spinna) 6 Practice (produced by Marco Polo) After a two year hiatus, J-Live follows his last critically acclaimed full length “The Hear After” with a sneak attack in the form of a 6 song EP “Reveal The Secret” “I want this to feel like it came outa nowhere. I want the people that have it to feel special you know. Let them spread the word that I’m back. Pass it .. the album drops. You know… let the cat out the bag, reveal the secret.” Its no secret that J has worked with his fair share of elite producers in the past. And although this fall’s mini project is just a precursor, it is no different. Reveal the Secret features production by DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Marco Polo and Oddisee. “ My people have been dying for me and Spinna to get back in the lab. He’s been down since day one. We have a couple other joints on the album too” The album, titled “Then What Happened” is due out 2008. But in the meantime, the EP will serve as a best foot forward, on J’s path to share his music with the world, breakout of obscurity and “Reveal the Secret” " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhunagar Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 yep.. it's a nice track.. a little bit sad that the 'magnificent remix' is the same as the TROTM version, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Better to have a new track anyway, and by the sounds of it its what we expected. Brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart5 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Wow, I didn't know Jeff produced The Incredible (guess I didn't see that in before). I really like that track. I can't say that the production is very good though IMO (besides JJ's beats). I think the weakest aspect of J Lives stuff is his beats aren't always up to par with his rhymes. But Once Upon a Mic is definitely a dope song. Good beat + good rhymes. Edited October 23, 2007 by bart5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
