Listen: J-Live – Money Matters (Prod. by Oddisee)

Emcee J-Live puts the money where his mouth is with “Money Matters”, a new Oddisee produced track. It’s the first single from his forthcoming album, Around The Sun, due Spring 2014. The album will be released through Mortier Music, J-Live’s newly founded independent label.

J-Live spits honest wisdom over a soulful, jazz-fused beat by Oddisee, with a sample you might recognize as the blueprint of The Procussions’ “Life Of Brian“. And is it just me, or did I hear a Clay Davis imitation?
