The Living Legends crew is a
family of independent hip-hop creators. From primary earth bases
in Los Angeles and Oakland, the Legends extend worldwide and
beyond. It all started with BFAP (now known as Sunspot Jonz) and
PSC (Luckyiam), who laid claim to the name of Mystik Journeymen
in the early 1990s. By '94 they were locally legendary for
throwing Underground Survivors shows, house party style at their
loft – 4001 San Leandro Street in East Oakland. That's where the
Grouch hooked up with the Journeymen in 1995, just before they
took off on their renowned first European tour. Around the same
time in the southern part of the state, Mid-city Los Angeles to
be exact, 3 Melancholy Gypsys (Murs, Scarub & Eligh) were part
of the almost mythic Log Cabin crew going back to 1993. Log
Cabin later broke up and the Gypsys wandered separately. As it
turned out, the 3 would cross paths again in the Bay Area and
became Living Legends. Aesop came to Oakland from Fresno, Arata
from Osaka, and Bicasso from various points, East, West and
elsewhere...
In 1999 the Legends
shifted their center of gravity to Los Angeles, but their
presence has definitely not diminished in Oakland and the Bay.
You know it makes no difference where they stay because the
universe revolves around them anyway. Over the years, the
Journeymen and the Legends have rocked Europe, Japan, Australia
and Canada numerous times, plus they've toured the USA, north
and south, east coast, west coast and beyond ... Currently, the
Legends are working on various solo projects and the latest crew
album “Creative Differences” . Also coming later this year will
be another Living Legends album, as yet untitled, a 3MG album,
and new releases from Scarub and the Mystik Journeymen. The
Legends continue to roam the globe rocking for fans all over.
The group has no plans to let up, they’re only turning up the
fire, see if you can keep up. Legends Baby!!!!!
