P.R. 0 Comments ,

The B-Boy has returned. Legendary Boston MC Mr. Lif has signed a multi-album deal with Mello Music Group for 2016 & 2017. His first new project will be out by mid-2016, but to hold fans over, MMG will reissue his 2002 classic “I Phantom“. “I’ve been very active musically for years but I haven’t been putting records out,” Lif says. “I’ve been touring the world with Thievery Corporation and otherwise living in the studio, constantly making songs.” Lif’s new slate of music is as progressive and searing as ever. If you’re even vaguely familiar with post-millennium underground hip-hop, you know all about the MC born Jeffrey Haynes. Over the course of four solo EPs and albums, Lif established himself as one of hip-hop’s most brilliant thinkers and triumphantly defiant voices.

I just want you to know that your contributions are sincerely appreciated. Your donations help me pay for studio time in which a recruit talented engineers to craft each song into a unique sonic experience. Your support also allows me acquire the necessary audio equipment to take each song to the potential I envision when the genuine inspiration first enters my mind. The bond between an artist and his or her supporters is unique and really is indigenous to each band or soloist. Over the years, I have found there to be no greater satisfaction than taking the time to speak with y’all after my shows. The contrast of going from the isolation of months in the studio to finally hitting the stage and seeing the response that those intimate moments of creativity evoke from those who listen is tough to capture with words. It is truly a priceless experience. It’s those moments that I have spent talking with y’all, signing autographs, having intellectual debates, and laughing that fuel me the most.

In it’s most realized & ambitious form, I hope that my songs contain elements that will become a part of you and last a lifetime and beyond. It is my honor
