The long anticipated "Face Value" LP is finally complete. J-Live has revisited songs from previous EPs "At The Date of This Writing" and "Lose No Time" and comboned them into the "Face Value" LP as originally intended. While strongly considered, J opted against retconning the original versions and scrubbing them from the discography. He instead enlisted long time collaborator and amazing producer Illastrate to remix and reimagine the entire project, Including the two teaser tracks released in 2024 and the all new title track.

J-LIVE -VS- EVERYTHING is a menagerie of J-Live verses. Thus the title's double meaning. The Vs. abbreviates both the preposition "versus" and dares to make a verb of the noun as in "J-Live is putting verses on everything" . From chopped beats to whole lifted songs to other peoples' instrumentals to J's own obscure lost episodes, J is spitting old songs, new freestyles and everything in-between.
