Legends Live Forever is a group of 4 young African American which consists of three rappers & 1 singer (Lyrical Tone, DB, Troy & Rosario), who all grew up in San Francisco California, Fillmore district. We all grew up around each other.

We’re all close, we’re like brothers. Its not just about music with us, we’re a family.

XCI:When did you form your group What inspired you to make music together?

LLF:Legends Live Forever was formed in 2005, itDidn’t start as a group is started as us being soloArtists with all of the common goal to becomeSomething, as time progressed, so did our similarties and in the long run decided to form a group.XCI:why is the group name legends live forever who came up with it and why?

LLF: Legends Live Forever was actually supposed to be our Label Name. Lyrical Tone Started the name back in high school 2003. We used Legends Live Forever to be the name for our Label and also to be the name for the 4 of us and no one else.

XCI:How do you describe your music to people?

LLF:The thing is you cant put Legends Live Forever in a box. We don’t do just one kind of music. We are for four differ-ent men, and with that comes a sense of creativity. 4 different views, 4 different styles, 4 different sounds etc. We can do hip-hop, r&b, gangsta rap, soul, and so on.

XCI: How has your music evolved since you first began mak-ing music together

LLF:Well, when we first got serious in like 2006 it was right when the “Hyphy” Movement was taking off. We were kinda in a Different lane at the time, but we felt like that’s what was hot, lets try to get with it. But we realized that wasn’t us you know... we Stayed in our lane and made our own success, and to this day we have created our own lane and stuck to it. It was a time where every body was doing gangsta shit, then it was the songs for the ladies.. Then it was the movement where everyone had a dance..lol. But we stayed in our lane and I jus did us, and I think that’s what keeps us consistent.

XCI:What are your music career goals?

LLF:Legends Live Forever, that’s our goal. Once they let us in the building were coming with our remodelled, and blueprints ready to change the gameXCI:What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands?LLF:Make sure everyone is on the same page. If the plan is to get to the top then everyone in the group has to have that same mission. If you REALLY want to be the top one, stop trying and just do it.

XCI:What has been your biggest challenge as a group ? Have you been able to overcome that challenge?

LLF:Our biggest challenge as a group sometimes is communi-cation ha. Might seem hard to believe, but we have a problem wit talking about things ahead of time.. But we’ve been work-ing on it.. It gets better all the time.XCI:What has been your strong influence to continue perform-ing?

LLF:The Fans. The feeling you get on that stage is priceless. Especially when people love you, and rock wit you.. It makes it feel that much better to be able to see the positive reactions to your music.XCI:What is your wildest story with the group?

LLF:The wildest story.... The wildest story might have to be atTones Birthday Party a couple years back. We had a Fat House Party.. Shit was going down... Rosario Lost His Pants, his shoes.. Almost got it poppin wit 2 different chicks... DB was carrying drunk girls out.. Our Patna Ant was waisted throwing drinks on people... smh. It was Definitely Bigga! Cannon was in the Bathroom keeping it lit on the sink feel me.. Haha what a night!XCI:Do guys have any other interests or talents you would like to share with us?LLF:We train Monkeys to wrestle midgets! Haha. Naw, but we all play basketball.. So anybody that want it..holla at us! We get it in!XCI:How would you define the word “success”?LLF:We see success as a self measuring tool. Success is what ever you want it to be. If being successful consists of your name being known or success is you getting on MTV, then that is ok. Because you set a goal and executed that goal. We define success as ac-complishment and happiness. We have a lot of goals for ourselves (Legends Live Forever) and we plan on executing every single goal and with that said we plan on Legends Live Forever becoming very successful.XCI:How can fans gain access to your music? Do you have a web site with sample songs ?LLF:google Legends Live Forever, legendsliveforever1.blog-spot.com,myspace.com/legendsliveforever, youtube.com/legendsliveforever1,twitter.com/legendslive4eva, facebook search “Legends Live Forever”
