The Mixtape:
For those who haven't heard TRUTHLiVE's new album, Patience, or his EP, The UnLearning, yet, there is now a new way to experience TRUTHLiVE. Kudos to DJ Vinroc who had a mixtape made in true and classic mixtape fashion that doesn't skip from one track to the next. Running 20-minutes long, DJ Vinroc took the recent and best songs from both albums to put into the mixtape starting with title track, "Patience". Mixing it seamlessly right into "Shoot Me Down" from the EP, DJ Vinroc is presenting the finest of TRUTHLiVE to the public. Landing the celebrated turntablist for the blend was a coup for TRUTHLiVEMix who states, "He is unquestionably one of the best turntablists of all time. Getting to work with him was a blessing." The proof is right here in the mix. Whether you've loved TRUTHLiVE or have never heard of him before, the mixtape will turn you into a TRUTHLiVE fan.

The Background:
Evan "TRUTHLiVE" Phillips, owner and founder of Interdependent Media, has certainly made his mark in the music industry with his wide range of talents. As an emcee, DJ, entrepreneur, and artist, TRUTHLiVE has had his hands in everything from a very young age. After a traumatic adolescent period where his health was at risk, three heart surgeries proved the artist to be quite a fighter. He explains to his new listeners, "The name TRUTHLiVE doesn't mean that I'm proclaiming myself as the truth, end-all be-all; it's more of a reminder to myself on how to conduct my life and career." The MC best summates, "My music is my truth and my life." That meaningful music is available nowin the form of Patience, TRUTHLiVE's debut release, courtesy of Bay Area label Interdependent Media.
