J-Live's 10th release and 6th full length album, "Around The Sun" marks yet another growth spurt for the indie hip hop veteran. Around The Sun features a smooth yet gritty OG boom bap New York sound. It's a cohesive work of art, but still an eclectic listen with a wide range of production as exhibited by the first two released tracks "Money Matters" prod. by Oddisee and "Not Listening" prod. by Korede. If you've been following J-Live since the Braggin' Writes days, you know what to expect and 2008's "Then What Happened?" is still one of my favorite albums post-2000. The selfie album artwork has to go to though, J-Live... hit up Adam 'ILLUS' Wallenta again, lol. Listen below...
