Want To Know The Real Deal On All Things Lifesavas?
The dynamic duo from Portland, OR (a.k.a. Razorblade City) who go by the name of LIFESAVAS - emcee/ producer JUMBO the Garbageman and emcee VURSATYL - couldn't be any more separate in terms of vocal style, point of view and even appearance, yet what they bring as a collective is timeless. Early on, the two pursued parallel hip-hop careers but promised to eventually work together. When JUMBO..s best friend, one of the emcees that VURS worked with, was murdered in a gang-related shooting, they had the impetus they needed to finally make it happen; they collaborated on a track inspired by the incident called ..Stop the Madness,.. and this ultimately led to the formation of LIFESAVAS. The pair..s initial recorded work ended up on cassettes at local record stores where Chief Xcel discovered the group.
VURSATYL was then invited to tour the world as a part of Blackalicious.. live performance, covering emcee/backup vocals and adding to their sound with his vocal style of lyricism and soulful singing, abilities he honed as a youth, partly in gospel choirs and partly on the streets of Portland. Shortly thereafter, Chief Xcel offered LIFESAVAS a record deal from Quannum Projects. LIFESAVAS released their widely-praised debut, Spirit In Stone, in 2003. VURSATYL and JUMBO..s powerful songwriting over beats provided mainly by JUMBO, with contributions from DJ SHINES and Chief Xcel, delivered memorable anthems. The album..s blend of soulful, hard-hitting beats, spiritual consciousness and De La Soul-influenced verbal discourse immediately struck a chord and marked the duo as one of the Native Tongues predecessors. LIFESAVAS became an immediate live favorite with their captivating showmanship and endless high energy, only paralleled by artists such as Busta Rhymes.
