“Mr. Lif has become perhaps the most touted lyricist in Boston Hip-Hop history” (Boston Phoenix 12/1/00). Since his 1997 debut on Brick Records Rebel Alliance LP, Mr. Lif has released numerous singles, an EP and a live album to international critical acclaim. 1998’s “Elektro,” and 1999’s “Triangular Warfare,” which featured B-side production from underground kingpin El-P (then of Company Flow), introduced the world to Lif’s infectious delivery and distinct voice. In the Fall of 1999 Lif hooked up with the Beastie Boy’s Grand Royal Records for the release of his third single “Farmhand” as part of the 12″ series Blow up Factor. The year 2000 marked the release of Lif’s first EP Enters the Colossus on Definitive Jux Records, prefaced by the lead single “Front on This.” This past year, Mr. Lif did what few hip-hop artists have ever tried to do, he released a live album. Live at the Middle East brings to life Mr. Lif’s incredible energy and ability, as he performs all the classics, plus introduced three new songs to the masses.

Mr. Lif is poised to release both an EP, and his debut full-length album in 2002. Emergency Rations, which will be released on June 25th, is a seven-song EP which offers in-depth commentary of the ills of the American society post 9/11. In a voice reminiscent of political giants like Public Enemy, Mr. Lif calls America’s foreign policy into question, and examines with a critical eye the War on Terrorism. In an era of increasing censorship and violation of civil liberties, Lif speaks for the unheard masses.

Mr. Lif’s debut full-length effort, I Phantom, will be released on September 3rd 2002 on Definitive Jux Records. Lif and long-time friend and legendary beatsmith El-P (founder of Definitive Jux Records) team up for six incredible tracks on the album, with production by Lif, Fakts One, Insight and Edan round out the rest of the album.
