When people put the number 32 and greatness in the same sentence, certain things may come to mind. One could be the greatness from the players that wore the number 32 jersey-such as O.J. Simpson, Jim Brown, Magic Johnson,Karl Malone and many more . However, there is a new "lyrical athlete" that shall go down in the hall of fame with the number 32. That artist goes by the name of Jaelife. Jaelife brings nothing less then greatness on his mixtape "32 barz of greatness". Assisted by DJ Sean Blu, Jaelife reminds the world how great Hip Hop can be when it's done right.

YOU KNOW MY STEEZ-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"IF HIP HOP IS DYING,I'M THE ANTIBIOTIC" Jaelife starts the mixtape off with a beat from one of the greatest groups (R.I.P. GURU)and let's people know his "steez". He demonstrates "super Mario music" and shows he's on the last level about to end King Koopa's reign in the game and terrorizing it.
TAKE IT FURTHER(FEATURING DIDYMUS)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL FAVORITE BAR-"YOU GOT A PROBLEM I SOLVE IT, NO SCOOBY SNACKS" Jaelife and Didymus make a classic hip hop joint and really "take it further" than most artists can't take hip hop. Both verses are flawless and leave your jaw dropped as your bobbing your head. At the end of the track, Jaelife gives us his perspective of "greatness" and really breaks it down for the listeners. This is definitely a "REPEAT OFFENDER" track.
A PART OF NATURE (FEATURING BROOKE)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL UP BEAT-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"SO TIRED OF THE DOLLAR MENU I DESERVE THAT SHRIMP AND STEAK" Brooke does a good job on the hook and draws you in for the verse. I actually like the beat choice for this track. It has mix of a love, southern and dark beat that all work together. Jaelife balances what he wants and what he can provide on this track.
CRAZY(FEATURING ONE DOSE)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"EYES WIDE SHUT WALKING ALONG" First off, this chorus is addictive! It actually makes the track. The beat is jazzy and you can just mellow out and ride to this track.
HE MADE IT-LYRICS-2 SPOONS FAVORITE BAR-"YOU ARE WHAT YOU OVERCOME" Jaelife demonstrates that he can be a storyteller on a track...and a good one at that. This song is very motivational and is a very personal and heartfelt track. I seriously believe that this track can recharge any body's battery struggling within the music business.
STOP WONDERING(FEATURING DEUCE)-LYRICS-"BREAKING THE LAW OF FAILURES, SCREW ECONOMICS" It seems as though that "He made it" is the prelude to this track. "Stop wondering" follows the flow of "He made it" and uses the negative side of not pursuing your dreams. The verses are on point and convict you of all your excuses that you have or ever will use.
OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW-LYRICS-2 SPOONS FAVORITE BAR(2 WAY TIE)-"THE GAME NEED ME LIKE A RIM NEED A BACKBOARD" "NO DEGREE, BUT I'M STILL ABLE TO TEACH" This is one of my favorite tracks on the mixtape. Jaelife shines on the mellow/slow tracks. He also shows us how cool he really is. Everyone may rep their favorite side-but Jaelife reps the best side-the other side of the pillow.
MAKE IT GO-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-2 EARS FAVORITE-"LYRICS LIVE AND IN PERSON LIKE YOUR CHATTING ON SKYPE" I'm feeling the lyrics, but I'm not feeling the beat. It sounds like it's not fully developed. I kept waiting for the beat to drop. It sounds like a great intro leading into the actual beat, but I just didn't work for me. On the up side, the lyrics were good and had one of Jaelife's most powerful bars-the only thing he is afraid of is getting bored. Think about it.
DISCIPLINE(FEATURING SANDY & JOB)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"I'M DETERMINED WITH A SERMON" This track is a excellent representation of what "discipline" should be in your life. Sandy does her thing on the vocals. This is a real powerful song and can be a great teaching tool for people of all ages, races,gender and cultures.
ANGELS REMIX (FEATURING JIN)-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR-"CHRIST WILL RETURN AND HE DON'T NEED A RECEIPT" Jaelife brings his A game and holds his own on this powerful track with Jin. This is a very transparent verse and Jaelife speaks the truth. Many people won't even admit some of the things that he spoke on-good job Jaelife.
32 BARZ-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL FAVORITE BAR-"IN THE BOOTH SPEAKING CHEMO TO YOUR CANCER" Only one word can describe this track...greatness. REPEAT OFFENDER!
DOING ME-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-2 SPOONS UP FAVORITE BAR (2 WAY TIE)-"THE FLOW BE SHOCKING, I'M SO ELECTRIC CHAIR"NOW I'M OUT FOR BLOOD, LIKE I'M A CRIP IN HERE" This track is something can probally be played on radio. Jaelife brings a little southern swag on this track and let's us know he is "Doing me".

Overall, I give this mixtape 2 spoons up. Jaelife has bars for days. The only problem with Jaelife is that he is too good for radio. Dj Sean Blu does a great job feeding hip hoppers with beat breaks and really holds it down as a DJ. This mixtape has me wanting to hear more from Jaelife. You can catch him at @jaelife on twitter. When it comes to this mixtape...it's greatness! Spread the soup!
