Montreal-based #DK11 album alums, Jai Nitai Lotus and Sam I Am Montolla are back with a new heater, “Life Support.” Here’s the homie, Jai on the track:
This time around it features my very talented sister Sam I Am Montolla… I don’t know many singers who would be eager to sing on something as aggressive as this right here, but she wrote and laid her vocals in under an hour. I had her over for a studio session and we got into some passionate discussions about the world, art, music, and it inspired this song. Afterwards I hit up my brother, the legendary DJ Static for some cuts. When Static sent me the rough edit… I tell you I had that tough, scrunchy face while listening… dude cutting in triplets to the beat. Word!! This song has the energy to propel your 2 minute high-intensity workout š
My only complaint? It’s too short! Put this joint on repeat!

That time I got mentioned in a #1 podcast! It’s worth listening to the entire thing (it’s less than 30 minutes total), but if you’re time crunched, go right to 12:46. Thanks Del, Lana and Aaron for the love. If you;re more of an iTunes user for for podcast listening, go HERE.


I know I’m wild late on this. Been up on this for a while. Unfortunately, life intervened but I like these tracks so much, especially “No More Interviews”, I still decided it was worth posting in case some of y’all slept on/missed them.

Guess Drake really wanted to treat his fans to something new and special for his birthday. All these joints were premiered on the most recent edition of the OVO Beats 1 radio show and come from a forthcoming OVO label compilation titled, More Life due November 3. What y’all think??
