Bio
Live Vibe Consists of Manifesto Universal and HIT.esq These two thought provoking emcees hail from Chicago's Southside and joined forces in 1997 through an underground talent den in Elgin, Illinois known as the "Rec Center". Live Vibe provides consistent musical flavor, unique lyrical wordplay, and unparallel microphone cadence. By balancing crafty verses and versatile topic matters, Live Vibe can easily switch gears from radio ready street anthems laced with clever south side Chicago wittiness to heartfelt soulful classics. Live Vibe's high-power energy will also get the clubs jumpin by providing vibrant urban poetry with a blend of fine-tuned tracks that ride gracefully and smoothly through your ear drums.
These thoroughly complete emcees not only have impressive charismatic mic-command, but also have a relentless work ethic and bangin beat guaranteed to give your speakers an intense workout. Live Vibe has been influenced by growing up listening to Chicago's diverse musical background such as: James Brown (king of funk), Curtis Mayfield (a pioneer of soul), and R. Kelly (an R&B favorite). Live Vibe encompasses all fashions of Hip-Hop (East Coast, West Coast, and the dirty South) to form a never before witnessed combination of genres and styles.
Musical Background:
Live Vibe has performed at various venues in Chicago and its vast surrounding area. Just to name a few, Live Vibe has performed for capacity crowds at the Double Door, the New Fifty Yard-Line, Planet Mars, Subterranean, Divine, Empty Bottle, and rocked the stage at Nine 8 with the infamous K-Solo. Live Vibe warmed up the mic and captured the crowd for the Beatnuts at Joe's in the fall of 2002. Live Vibe definitely had the crowd jumpin out of their seats at the Hothouse in the summer of 2003. Live Vibe took Elgin, Illinois by storm when they performed at Anthonys in the spring of 2004.
Awards and Achievements:
Both Live Vibe artists (King HIT and Manifesto) respectively placed 1st and 2nd out of 32 of Chicago's fiercest emcees in the "Who's The Illest" freestyle battle in the winter of 2002 at the Subterranean.
