Michael LIFE has lived a crazy and unique LIFE. As a young kid in Phoenix, Arizona he was an expert sponsored skateboarder and traveled all over the United states competing and filming for videos. In the mid nineties his love for hip hop music led him to a chance meeting with Zabdullah a young rapper from Parkside in West Philadelphia. LIFE ended up traveling to Philly with Zab where he gained skill as a rapper, songwriter, and as a very charismatic artist and performer. Zab and his brothers and LIFE were caught up in the streets hustling and grinding and eventually decided a move back to LIFE’s hometown pf Phoenix was the best move. Over the years on both coasts LIFE and Zab’s hip hop group Underground Empire opened shows for just about every major rap act and it was one of those shows opening for Nas in the late 90’s where LIFE ran into Pokafase, a rapper from Phoenix he had been cool with years earlier. Their friendship and music partnership continue to this day. In 2002 when Pokafase received a record deal from Ted Fields new company Artist Direct/BMG he asked his friend LIFE to accompany him to L.A. and help run their new production company. LIFE was project coordinator on the MASTERMIND LP and also was the only guest rapper on the CD. Unfortunately for the new upstarts 2003 was a rocky year in the music business and the excellent MASTERMIND CD never saw the light as Artist Direct closed its doors. However before the label closed LIFE accompanied Pokafase on three tours, one with the WUTANG clan, one with 50CENT and one with LUDACRISS. LIFE learned through these experiances what to do and not to do in this game of hip hop music. Along the way since then LIFE along with Pokafase, and amazing hip hop artists Flossi, M.E. and Hannibal LEQ have formed a supergroup known as The LEAGUE of KINGZ. This group is like no other in hip hop before it. All five of the artists in The LEAGUE are super talents and mesh together great. It would be hard to ever find five good friends who happen to have the ability to make some of the best hip hop songs ever together. The group is made of 5 solo artists come together and all have a crazy story. Put together it’s a legend in the making.
LIFE is well known in Phoenix as an amazing performer. Whether doing a solo show downtown at the Brick House with The Lost Souls band behind him, opening for a major show at Celebrity Theater with The LEAGUE of KINGZ, or performing alongside Pokafase during superbowl week in Phoenix, LIFE always kills it on stage every time. His solo project is completely planned out start to finish. He will be creating a total of 4 solo albums. He has over 100 solo songs created at this time along with his NOW or NEVER mixtape series.His solo albums will be:THE LIFE TRILOGY
EPISODE 1 - ONCE IN A LIFETIME
EPISODE 2 - MOVING AT THE SPEED OF LIFE
EPISODE 3 - STORY OF MY LIFEAnd finally - LEGEND OF THE LOST SOULSAlong the timeline of these 4 albums LIFE plans to make history. HE and his partners from The LEAGUE of KINGZ will create 3 full length albums with all 5 members together. LIFE will also be helping do whatever is needed to help the solo projects of Pokafase, Hannibal LEQ, M.E., and Flossi. Michael LIFE is a naturally gifted songwriter and will be writing many songs for singers over the years. Also in the last couple of years he has become interested in making movies and he has a role in the upcoming independent film “LOSING TOUCH†directed by a young filmmaker named Jay Cooper. LIFE also made a solo song called “Losing Touch†for the film. The film stars Pokafase as Banks a ruthless young hustler and LIFE plays Streets a cross town hustler who Banks respects and does business with. Besides getting their first chance to act in a film LIFE and Pokafase helped create a few extra scenes and helped in directing them. After doing this they realized it was time to start trying to make all their own crazy movie ideas true and they are deep into their first screenplay already.
If you are one of the first to discover The LEAGUE OF KINGS you will soon realize you are witnessing the beginning of the next chapter in Hip Hop Music. ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
