Executively produced by southland icon Aceyalone, J Natural’s debut LP “Love Is On Hiatus” is a rousing, jazzed inflected hip-hop album which has recently caught the ears of Dubcnn. Following in the tradition of uncompromising and strong emcees like Jean Grae and Medusa, “Love Is On Hiatus” features Aceyalone and Abstract Rude with production from San Diego beat maker Jeff Wonder.
For those who don’t know JNatural she was raised in Los Angeles by her grandmother and aunt and went to an all-girls Catholic high school, which she says despite their renown for breeding wild girls, that there were major benefits to not having boys around to distract her, not the least of which was that she learned to speak her mind.
It was around high school when JNat tried her hand at turntables and discovered SLAM poetry. By college, JNatural and her friends were staying up late night dissecting the lyrics of Freestyle Fellowship, Living Legends and Hiero and scratching out rhymes of her own.
In 2005 during a chance meeting with one of her icons Aceyalone at a Medusa show, she slipped him her latest CD. “He called the next day and asked me to come in to the studio to record and be part of the (SIS)tem, an all female group he was putting together.”
A year later JNatural teamed up with producer/photographer Jeff Wonder to produce her first globally distributed project “Escape From Babylon” before releasing the “Sex Lies and Sextape” mixtape mixed by DJ Ray Ray Raw in 2008.
J Natural’s debut LP “Love Is On Hiatus” has just been released on iTunes and today we have a track from the LP entitled “They Want Sex” as well as a video for the Remix to that record featuring Medusa – check them below.
