What You Need

Overview

What You Need was released on In E Money Bags We Trust, the 1999 debut album by E-Moneybags. The recording features Live Squad members Stretch and Majesty and represents one of the final official commercial releases to feature Stretch's vocals following his death in 1995.

The song reflects the continuing relationship between Majesty and E-Moneybags, who would later become business partners through Grand Imperial Records. Their collaboration helped preserve and introduce Live Squad's music to a new generation during the late 1990s.

Although the recording was officially released in 1999, it has never been confirmed whether What You Need was recorded specifically for E-Moneybags' album or whether it originated from an earlier Live Squad session before being completed for commercial release. No official production history has been published.

Recording History

Very little documentation has survived regarding the recording of What You Need. The song was commercially released on In E Money Bags We Trust in 1999 and features vocal performances by Stretch and Majesty alongside E-Moneybags.

Because the recording was released several years after Stretch's death, some collectors have suggested that it may incorporate vocals recorded during an earlier Live Squad session. However, no official source has confirmed whether the recording is an original 1999 collaboration or a reconstruction of older material.

Regardless of its origins, the song remains an important part of Live Squad's official discography and demonstrates the close working relationship between Majesty and E-Moneybags that would eventually lead to the formation of Grand Imperial Records.
