BLACKALICIOUS & J-LIVE
2 of hip hops most revered acts together!!
BLACKALICIOUS-with 7 piece band
Blackalicious delivered the “stand out performance of the day†(inthemix.com.au) at the 2004 Beach Party, and they will be returning to our shores on the back of an explosive US tour and a critically heralded new album.
For their fifth album release, Blackalicious has created a record of such sonic depth and breadth and lyrical ambition that it can proudly stand alongside the work of Bay Area funk fathers Sly Stone and Shuggie Otis. However ‘The Craft’ is not nostalgia for some “golden era†that never existed, it represents state-of-the-art hip hop with an expansive worldview.
Now in the tenth year of their career, Blackalicious is just hitting their stride. ‘The Craft’ reveals one of global hip hop’s best-loved crews achieving another artistic breakthough. “It’s my favourite of all our albums,†says Gift of the Gab, “I think it’s our best album.â€
“The Craft,†Xcel says, “is our passion to bring discipline to this music, the passion to keep growing, keep stretching, keep doing things we haven’t before. The craft is what we live for.â€
J-Live
J-Live is one of the most talented MCs on the planet. Fans familiar with the clever lyricist have grown to love his unique style of wordplay and his originality. At the forefront of New York's independent hip hop scene since the mid 90s, J-Live was one of the first artists to move a substantial amount of units without airplay or a major label push. J-Live relied strongly on grassroots promotions and old fashioned hard work. For years J-Live has remained an independent music icon taking his time to release quality albums. This year, joining forces with Penalty Recordings and Rykodisc J-Live prepares to drop what may be his most sophisticated, conceptual and complete album so far, The Hear After.
