J-Live (real name Justice Allah) is an MC, DJ, and producer, and also the founder of Triple Threat Productions. He first exploded onto the underground hip-hop scene in 1995 with the single "Longevity" which appeared on Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz CD. His follow-up singles, "Braggin' Writes" and "Hush the Crowd" garnered widespread attention. His first album, The Best Part, recorded from 1995 to 1999, hasn't been released officially due to his disdain for Raw Shack Records. In 2001, copies surfaced as bootlegs. He quit the hip-hop culture to become a middle-school English teacher after The Best Part but then came back with follow-ups, Always Has Been, Always Will Be, and All of the Above in 2003. Most recently J-Live released "The Hear After" in 2005.
