Walter J. Liveharder is so Chicago you can call him pothole. Heepitomizes Chicago hip-hop--he's hard working, fastidious, prolific, and willing to take risks to showcase his talent, efficacy, and inference. From his start as an MC in live hip-hop troop Bad News Jones to multiple side projects and solo records, Walter J. has put out irresistibly classic Windy City joints that have all led to this collaboration with Plug 2 of De La Soul. In fact, Mibbs of Pac Div describes Walter as sounding "like a Chicago Slick Rick/MF Doom, and raspy like Raekwon."
And "Salty Dawgz," featuring Plug 2 (aka Trugoy the Dove) of De La Soul is hot. The track is the first single to drop from Walter J.'s new record,Salty,produced by Tony Baines. It's the kind of track that demands summertime antics, like windows rolled down, loud music, brewha, and whatever propels you into fun, relaxation, and the breezy living we all expect from summertime.
If you like poignant lyrics, humor, purposed cynicism, and outright raucous beats, then Walter J. Liveharder is exactly what you need to get this summer jump-started.
