ialive raps and produces kind of like he could have been on Def Jux circa 2005, but feels a little bit more positive and easier to relate to. Probably easiest to quote him about himself: "De La taught me to Tread, Aes taught me to Float."

His last full album had Mr Lif and Onry Ozzborn on it, and is super dope to me. My favorite tracks might be "Alone" or "Vs Myself":

That albums was more mellow/introspective which I love, but recently he released an EP thats a lot more energetic, but also good: https://ialive.bandcamp.com/album/the-jelly
