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 Luckyiam.PSC, who laid claim to the name of Mystik Journeymen in the early 1990s. By ‘94 they were locally legendary for throwing Underground Survivors shows, houseparty style at their loft - 4001 San Leandro Boulevard 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 …

@theoryjean the legends have tons of albums that they've released over the years, and there are numerous groups within living legends. i recommend checking out 3 Melancholy Gypsys- Grand Caravan to the Rim of the World, The Grouch and Eligh- No More Greener Grasses, Sunspot Jonz- Only the Strong Shall Survive, Eligh- As They Pass, The Grouch- Crusader For Justice, and Murs- ....The End Of The Beginning. There's soooooo many more I would recommend, hit me up if you want more...

im a huge hiphop fan... grew up listening to 90s underground stuff... to me, the 90s is really where underground flourished. ever since the early 2000's theres been what i call 'emo hiphop'... soft stuff like atmosphere, sage francis, etc. which i am not a fan of. Everyone i speak to about underground hip-hop, if theyre a nooby, they mention Living Legends, and their fan base seems to be pretty young.. which is to me, a turn off. But, theyve seemed to have built quite a name for themselves. in fact, i DJ'd a set for scarub while he was freestyling and i thought he was pretty damn good. ive heard some of their tracks individually here and there from friends and havent been too impressed, but occasionally i hear something i really like. can someone guide me in the direction of a good album of theirs? right now im just listening to all their stuff...but id like a base to start out from. cheers! p.s. check out The Nextmen's album Amongst the Madness if you want some real hiphop.
