Give Us Some Background Info As To Who You Are.
I'm a Hip Hop artist professionally known as L.I.V.E. Basically, I'm a product of my environment. I was bred with a section 8 mind-state. But, unlike most people who use that as an excuse to lose, it has enabled me to see what others can't see. Over the years, I have develop a mentality to know and recognize when there's more than meets the eye and how to react accordingly. And that has enabled me to position myself and make decisions that equal success.
What Is The Significance Of Your Name?
L.I.V.E stands for "Life Is Very Entertaining". And if you think about it, real life day to day events can be entertaining and can sometimes be deemed unbelievable. So life is L.I.V.E.
What Sets You Apart From Other Aspiring Rappers?
The thing that sets me apart is the fact that I'm original. I know myself and who and what I represent. A lot of indie artists don't have a realistic understanding of how the music biz or music in general works; they limit themselves from the gate. Also there's no real substance in a lot of the music, so it doesn't mean as much or stand the test of time.. But, I do the exact opposite and I make sure you walk away with something every time you listen to my music.
What Is The Philosophy By Which You Live By?
My philosophy is "I Refuse to Lose! Nothing Stops The Flow!"
Which Artists Have Inspired You?
I'm inspired by almost every artist, good or bad, because I believe that you take a piece from all of them one way or another. Basically, I'm inspired by music in general. It's a part of my soul. But, I mainly get inspiration from the artists who have longevity no matter the genre.

I've worked with several producers including Buc Nasty, G-Man,Triple A,Younq Cass and a few others as well as co-producing some tracks myself.
What Is Your Opinion Of The Current State Of Hip Hop?
I believe that Hip Hop is alive and well. Hip Hop is big business with way more opportunity than ever before. And I'm glad to be a part of it.
If You Can Change One Thing About The Music Industry What Would It Be And Why?
I would change just basing the caliber or movement of an artist on sales alone, because a lot of artists have a bigger fan base than what sales show. Also I would try to create a stronger system to keep track of and control bootlegging. I would create a system to assure that the artist receives all credit and profit.
