Yano's World Episode 5 featuring Live Johnson

Episode 4 of former multi-time  Voiceless Music Awards  winner  Siano 's new interview/talk show is here! And for his latest episode of  Yano's World , the multi-faceted artist/producer links with a legitimate Voiceless Music legend. Consistency isn't the easiest to maintain in the music game, but when you are an artist and producer who has provided the sound to a triple-digit number of artists? You have a right to talk your shit. But there's more to the man behind the mic and the boards... We present  Yano's World Episode 5  featuring  Live Johnson !

Live Johnson - Live Jewels (Album Review)

  Somehow people forget the streets tend to make the man, and the man becomes the prophet to the people. In a sense, this became the premise of classic stories told through Hip-Hop. As a veteran in the game, Live Johnson took it upon himself to be the prophet in a for certain classic, Live Jewels . First and foremost, to understand an artist is to understand through music what has gotten them to where they are. Live Jewels is the former Voiceless Music Awards People's Choice winner's autobiography. You can hear the pain in the storytelling between "The Only Way" and "Classic Vibes". Simplistic with the beat pattern, both give Live the ability to speak to the people on a Raekwon level. While that formula may not work for many, you respect Live 's tone as an OG to speak the game to you. But this is Queens, so of course, you're going to get your bar-heavy swagger with "Worth of Game", to understand how the block work with "The Gems...

Live Johnson - Love My Style (EDM Remix) (feat. The Other Day)

Energy can be exerted in many different forms. When it comes to the form of music, it's all about rush of the beat and the refreshing feeling of just... letting go. In lament terms, this is how we describe the EDM/Dubstep culture; free flowing with sounds and colors, the genre has birthed some of the finest club remixes to some of the biggest and best artists in the game.  Looking to continue his pioneering effect over a rap saturated independent music industry, the Queens native and former Voiceless Music People's Choice Award winner Live Johnson returns to the blog with a remix of a goodie. In 2019, the "Come Back" artist dropped the 1st -assisted single, "Love My Style". With an accompanying, and impressive, visual, the record stood out as Live 's return to the game after a 2-year hiatus. Now in 2021, with Live Jewels on the way, once again Live steps out the box and enlists The Other Day for this exclusive remix. Check it out below.

Live Johnson - Luv It (feat. Michael Bostic)

Hip-Hop hits different when it's done right, when the love and passion is in it, and it's a dope mix with good effects. Ok, so maybe that's just us but it's undeniable when you hear a song and you feel like your living in the movie Soul and sounds turn into compassionate feelings and positive moods. Did we over describe our reigning and defending Voiceless Music Awards People's Choice winner? But if you haven't realized by now, Live Johnson is a true industry veteran. An unmistakable mainstream sound with his tone and production, Live has been quiet since The Come Back EP dropped last year. But the cook up is back as he prepares for his Live Jewels album... with a single worthy of a drop top on the Westside Highway in New York City. Joined by his EDC brother in arms, a hook worthy of an award itself by Michael Bostic , the calm early 90s AZ / Nas like vibes set by these two make for a on point first single for the masses. Check out the repeatable, 'what...

EDC Beats - Money Machine Instrumental (Dom Kennedy Type) & Read About It Instrumental (Travis Scott Type)

While EDC has transformed from a label to a production giant. the workrate is still at an all time high. Now formed as a powerful production duo of Live Johnson and Michael Bostic , the Queens based tandem look to shake the game with high volume of instrumentals to all artists.  Today, we re-introduce the group with two brand new instrumentals exclusively dropped. The first, a West Coast sound perfect for a either a heartfelt letter to the streets, or a hustler's anthem for 2020. It's a Dom Kennedy type beat entitled "Money Machine". Livejohnson718 · Money Machine Instrumental (Dom Kennedy Type) The second, a boastful and loudly entertaining instrumental that is sure to be an anthem for the right artist. It's a Travis Scott beat entitled "Read About It".

Live Johnson - Come Back (Official Video)

Former V oiceless Music Awards People's Choice Award winners do not. So today, as he subsequently announces his Jordan, wearing the 45 , moment, Live Johnson brings out the toys and the bottles for this gritty New York visual laced with this simplistic, West Coast vibe single. A record for the gangstas with the two-step, check out the video Live's new video to "Come Back" below.

Voiceless Music PR: DJ Mainstream Go Behind-The-Scenes @ EDC's Photoshoot & Meeting

Malcolm X once said, “there is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, it's own lesson on how to improve your performance next time”  And that is the story of Every Dollar Counts.  The group created by the rapper/producer kingpin Live Johnson has caused quite a stir since establishing them as a force back when he mentioned the groups' acronym (EDC) in his hit Voiceless Music Awards nominated single, “Feel No Way” in 2018. Fast forward several months later, and we are sitting in a cosy Harlem studio on Malcolm X Day with the members of the newly minted group taking photos left and right. As the photos are clicking away, I’d notice something… Live Johnson has cracked a smile. Yes, the towering boss of I Am Live Graphix is watching his close friend Michael Bostic snap photos in a suit. “The man cleans up nice”, says Live who points out Bostic’s impeccable ensemble. That’s until poet Mae I Speak, decked out a vint...

Check out "No Smoke" below.

Live Johnson - The Watcher / Been There & Done That Freestyle

Some of the underground music scene has become complacent and run their course. Don’t take it from us, take it from Live Johnson whose tired of it. The 2019 Voiceless Music Awards nominee is primed for another big year and with EDC behind him, it looks to be a year to remember. But while he was gone, Live saw everything he needed to speak on which fuels today’s eye-opening, ‘truth hurts’ freestyle. It’s “The Watcher/Been There & Done that” for the next edition of #EDCMarchMadness .
