As seen recently, live on the main stage at the A3C Festival, J-Live covers Dwyck in it’s entirety. This studio recording is from the highly anticipated, soon to be released mixtape “The Live Supremacy”. J-Live, in typical three man team S.P.T.A. fashion covers the classic Nice & Smooth Gang Starr collaboration. Complete with omage to the late great Guru.

Hip Hop Wired has posted that Guru from Gang Starr has fallen into a coma after suffering cardiac arrest. He is scheduled to go into surgery tomorrow, we are hoping everything goes well…
