J-Live was one of my favorite rappers in the late 90’s/early00’s.  Dude always brought something fresh to the game whether it was ill metaphors, intricate stories or just plain spittin’ flames.  10 years later, nothing has changed.  He’s still one of the dopest (and most underrated) MCs in hip-hop (click here for our mix of the most underrated MCs).  Check out the video for his latest single, The Authentic.  True to his knack for originality, he raps from the perspective of 3 different MCs…at the same time.  Hotness.
