Lifesavas

Lifesavas is an American hip hop trio from Portland, Oregon. The group consists of MCs Vursatyl and Jumbo, and DJ/producer Rev Shines. They are known for their intellectual and spiritual lyrics, which often explore themes of personal growth, social commentary, and Afrocentricity, delivered over boom-bap influenced beats.

Lifesavas first gained recognition in the early 2000s through their independent releases and performances. They signed with Quannum Projects, a prominent independent hip hop label, releasing several albums and EPs, including "Emerge" and "Gutterfly: The Original."

Their music distinguishes itself with its conscious lyricism and positive message, setting them apart from some other contemporary hip hop acts. They often incorporate elements of jazz and soul into their production, contributing to a distinctive sound that appeals to a wide audience.

Beyond their musical output, Lifesavas have been involved in community activism and educational initiatives, further solidifying their reputation as socially responsible artists. Their work often reflects a deep understanding of social justice issues and a commitment to positive change.
