Lyve

Born in raised in Houston, Tx, Brandon Rashad Hill otherwise known by the stage name "Lyve"  did not start off wanting to do music. Aspirations of being a music engineer was his focal point. As opposed to other artists who may have started at an early age, he started to make music after graduating highschool.
Being born in Houston, it wasn't hard to be influenced by the music; being that the style there is very heavy cultured with a down south style, combined with country rhetoric and laidback vibes. Artists such as Z-Ro, Lil Keke, Scarface, and Pimp C are some of the artists out the influence his music.
In 2012 he relaeased his first mixtape on Datpiff.com titled "Index and A Pinky" which holds correlation to the city of Houston, Tx, with the gesture of throwing up your index and a pinky to symbolize a h for Houston, Tx. The tape recieved positive reviews from peers but lacked any big buzz around the city of Houston, Tx.
Since then Lyve has also put out other projects such as "Unstoppable" and the newly released tape titled "H.G.xV.C.G." which includes other Houston artists: Young, Zeus, Spitta and Cha$e which released at the top of 2014; which both can be also found on Datpiff.com
2014 is expected to be a breakout year for Lyve. He hasbeen working on his third official Mixtape "The Correlation" which is scheduled to drop summer of 2014. Which will feature the single with TonyDelFreshco Titled "Never Felt Better(G.O.O.D.) prod. by Prolivik Beeats which is generating a nice buzz around Houston. "Murder" is the next single to drop from the tape.
Lyve has done covers to other artists songs as well he teamed up with Young to do Rick Ross' single "The Devil Is A Lie". This one and many other songs can be found here on his sonicbid page and his soundcloud page as well: https://soundcloud.com/lyve832/tracks
Lyve is scheduled to perform at SXSW in March, and is ready to grab a hold of the reins of the Houston rap scene. Stay tuned!
