Eligh is a rapper and producer from Los Angeles, California. He is a member of the underground hip hop group Living Legends.
History
His inspiration for making hip hop music came in the mid 1980s from the film Beat Street and LL Cool J's "I'm Bad." In high school, he co-founded the hip hop duo Boogalu Badboys with Scarub. When they crossed paths with another rapper Murs, the three formed 3 Melancholy Gypsys. However, Eligh was eventually evicted from his aunt and uncle's home, forcing him to move from Los Angeles up north to Bay Area. There, he met The Grouch, which ultimately led to 3MG's incorporation into Living Legends.
In the mid and late 1990s, Eligh released albums like As They Pass and Gas Dream. In the 2000s, he released darker and more cryptic albums such as Poltergeist and Enigma. In 2010, he released the album Grey Crow. It spawned many likes by underground hip hop fans and is praised for his unique flow and lyricism. To date, it is currently Eligh's best selling album as an independent artist.
Combining his dogged work ethic with Living Legends' DIY approach, Eligh has released over a dozen albums. Sometimes under the alias Gandalf, he has also provided beats for rappers outside Living Legends crew, including Company Flow, Pigeon John, John Cena and Freestyle Fellowship. Eligh has been involved in a number of Living Legends offshoots as well, including Log Cabin, The Righteous Brothers and The Grouch & Eligh.
