Eligh & Amp Live continue to push for their upcoming collaborative album “Therapy at 3” being released on November 15th. Fans of the Living Legends crew and Zion-I will love this album, as well as folks unfamiliar with their near legendary status on the West Coast.

Today marks the first of many videos where Eligh & Amp Live break down each song of the album, “Therapy at 3,” starting with the “Intro” and the first song “First Contact.” In this video, Eligh discusses how the album ‘concept’ came together, as both members didn’t want a set concept for the album, which entailed Eligh to approach his writing as free-form, which in turn became a source of therapy for Eligh.

MikeyMo & Sunspot Jonz Interview

Emcee Mikey Mo has set up shop long enough in the Bay Area –via Jamaica Queens, NY–to call San Francisco his home. His second album Rule By Decree, is coming out in October on 3sixty5 Records. Mikey is free-spirited and enjoys a good laugh, so it’s no surprise that one of the first crews he hooked up with (in addition to Hiero) was Living Legends.

“Me and Sunspot (Jonz), we just think alike, our minds are wired the same,” Mikey laughs, understanding that he is likening himself to the to the wildest Legend of them all.

Murs: A Match Made in Heaven (Interview)

When you think of dynamic duos, there could be many interesting pairs that come to mind. When you think of dynamic duos from the world of music, these interesting pairs represent a relationship so unique, so refreshing that you can’t help but eagerly anticipate the next collaboration between these artists. While most artists might only have one easily identifiable significant other, in the case of one of Los Angeles’ finest Murs that might be harder to identify. We could say that his collaborations with the Living Legends are the most special. Even though it represents less of a dynamic duo, it does represent artists from southern California and artists from northern California coming together to form one of the best hip-hop collectives. We could say that it is his work with Slug as FELT. This group that wasn’t a group …
