@mr_lif — Mr. Lif

@therealmrlif | therealmrlif.comBorn and raised in Boston, Massachusetts Lif brokeout with his Enters The Colossus EP (Def Jux 2000), establishing him as one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking MCs in the game. He further cemented this status with a string of acclaimed releases including the "Emergency Rations" (EP), and "I Phantom" (LP).Tired of clichés, a culture in crisis, and a floundering economy, Lif stands apart as a new breed of MC appealing to listeners tired of hearing about the trivialities of hyper-consumerism and egomania that have infested hip hop culture and society. Based on the strength of his releases and relentless live show, Lif has been featured by MTV, Rolling Stone, SPIN, The NY Times, Entertainment Weekly, and XXL among others.Mr. Lif is a 9 time Boston Music Awards Winner and is also vocalist for the world-renowned music group Thievery Corporation.
