7HEADS ALLSTARS feat. J-LIVE

J-Live (a/k/a Jean-Jacques Cadet) has been exemplifying greatness on the mic since 1995 when he was recognized by The Source magazine in its prestigious Unsigned Hype column while still a freshman English major attending SUNY-Albany. Such accolades would prove more than warranted later that year when J's independently released debut, “Braggin' Writes,” became an immediate underground sensation that sold an impressive 13,000 copies. Modestly described by J today as “three battle rhymes and a hook,” the song's display of word power was further propelled by a unique backing track built strictly off of live scratching (performed by the Live one himself the old fashioned way, with two turntables, two pristine copies of a breakbeat and his own two hands).

ASHERU of UNSPOKEN HEARD

Asheru has his roots in Barbados, but was born in the DC area. He grew up on Kane, KRS, Rakim, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, MC Lyte, NWA, P.E., Salt-n-Pepa, and Heavy D.  He attended the University of Virginia in the mid 90's, where he received his degree in Anthropology. It was during his collegiate years that the groundwork for Asheru's musical career was formed and shaped. During his first year at UVa, Ash met 7Heads President Wes Jackson, and was one of the original seven heads that convened on that fateful day in 1995. “Gabe's been a big part 7Heads since day one,” Wes reminisces, “Gabe and Rob [Blue Black] were the first artists on the label. He has been there through all the ups and downs. We are as committed to him, personally as an artist, as he is to us, as a label.”

WORDSWORTH

As his name suggests, Brooklyn-bred microphone fiend Wordsworth is the epitome of a true Hip Hop wordsmith. At a time when the rap market is flooded with formulaic, cookie-cutter sensations who churn out fast, forgettable hits rather than solid albums, this Lyricist Lounge all-star is looking to the past to reinvigorate the present by recalling the essence of 1994 - when the beats were hard and MCs talked to listeners rather than at them about relevant topics they could relate to.
