24:Introduce yourself to everyone that doesn't already know who you are.

Live 21: We are "Live 21" 2 brothers Jmoe & Melo from Kansas City, MO. Now currently live in Atlanta, GA.

24: Before we get into your music, can you describe your history about
how you got into it and what inspired you?

Live 21: We have been rapping for about 6 years now. We are both really
inspired by the beat and the ability to put words to the beat. Jmoe
had a few friends and started a group in Highschool with a couple
friends. And Melo use to freestyle at school and skating rinks. So
Jmoe brought Melo around the group and he fit in perfectly. We broke
off the group and continued to pursue our own goals as a group of us
two. Later on in 2009 we went on to win Kansas City Local raido
station 95.7 Artist Big Break.

24: What was the Hip-Hop scene like when you growing up where you're from?

Live 21: The Hip-Hop scene in Kansas City for us wasn't really that big for us. Our Parents are really old school, most of our music was alot
older than what our friends would listen to. Most of our music we
listened to was either from California or Texas. As far as local
artist we listened to Tech N9ne was the biggest and still one of the
greatest from our City.

24: What makes you Unique as a artist and different from other rappers
emerging from The South?

Live 21: The big difference between us and other South rappers is that we are from the Midwest, and are able to bring our own style plus mix
with theirs. Also we are into more than just HipHop music. Pop music
also plays a big part in our music.

24: Tell us about what projects you are working on.

Live 21: Right now we are working on a Pre-Album and finishing up a Mixtape we should have out by the end of July.

24: What producers have you worked with and who would you like to work
with in the future?

Live 21: We have a local producer from Kansas City we grew up with by the name of Nitro. We are open to all producers we are always ready to
work with anybody thats really wanting to work. We've had a chance to
talk to Sonny Digital out of Atlanta but never worked together, hes
one we would really like to work with he has a movement going for him.
Polow Da Don would be the Producer if we could work with anybody right
now.

24: Are you happy with the feedback you have been getting from people
on material you have released?

Live 21: The feedback we get on our music helps us with what we do. Rather it's good or bad we look at as constructive criticism and build on that. Overall the feedback been good and motivates us to work harder to keep it that way.

24: In today's free download age, what do you need to make yourself a household name?

Live 21: The free downloads now a days for independent artist is a great thing for exposure. To make "Live 21" a household name we will put out more music and videos so fans will know the face with the music.

24: How do you feel about the current state of the Hip-Hop scene?

Live 21: Hip-Hop is in a good place for us younger artists. It's given alot of new artists a chance to show what they are capable of doing. It's nothing wrong with change and thats how the Hip-Hop scene is changing for the new artist.

24: Outside of the music what else are you currently working on?

Live 21: We are into sports, so almost anything dealing with Basketball or football we do. We assist with Little League sports.

24: Where do you see yourself going in 2011 and how do you plan to
separate yourself from the other artists out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?

Live 21: We are trying to stay focused and get more recognition in 2011. Rather its a major deal or us being bigger independent artist. And stand out by being true to ourself and what we rap about. And do what we feel is right for us and our music plus be Live 21.
