Mr. Lif’s fluid rhymes
July 22nd, 2010 | by admin |Walked into the Marquis Theater Denver as Grieves, one of many openers for Mr. Lifs show Saturday night, was mid-set. A hoodie pulled over his shaggy hair, the scrawny and goofy-looking MC had the crowd locked in with his palpable lyrics, his right-hand man and multi-instrumentalist DJ Budos horn sounds swirling and curling up through the rafters of the room.
As Grieves set bled into the 11 oclock hour, Mr. Lif crept out from the meager backstage door and joined the opener, dark sunglasses and his recognizable dreads barely visible under the dim beams. The lights would remain low for the rest of the evening, creating the perfect subterranean mood to focus on Lifs fluid rhymes.
