After languishing in record label purgatory for half a decade, J-Live's legendary debut finally emerged as a triumph of underground hip-hop purity. 'The Best Part' pairs his incredibly articulate, multi-syllabic flow with elite boom-bap production from luminaries like DJ Premier and Pete Rock, offering profound meditations on the state of the rap industry.
