Stop reading for a second and listen to track 11, "We Are!," off J-Live's new album Then What Happened?. It's DJ Spinna manning the boards so you know the beat is crazy. And if the song was only J-Live spitting in his inimitable style, simultaneously gritty and smooth, rough yet fluid, you already got a classic on your hands. But there's something else—something subtler—that comes into play. Listen closely to the first verse, specifically how J-Live tailors his verse to match the vocal samples, word for word, on the beat. That right there.
