Reveal the Secret EP

17 10 2007

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 the 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 on before 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, break out of obscurity and “Reveal the Secret”. … -BBE music

Video of the Week

13 10 2007

Paper Thin – MC Lyte

When you say you love me, it doesn’t matter.
It goes to my head as just chit chatter
You may take this egostistical or just or worry free
But what you say I take none of it seriously
And even if I did I wouldn’t tell you so
i’d let you pretend to read me
