Via TRF! Pop the hood for more video as well as the BEST OF LYVE compilation download! I’ll let Keezy tell it:

For the 3rd installment of the “In The Lab” producer series, I decided to highlight Lyve, one of the most slept-on producers in the city. Even though he crafted one of the best albums of the year, “Direct Deposit” with Tona, as well as joints for Ayah, Lindo P & Nish Raawks, he still manages to go under the radar because of his humble personality. I thought it was only right to blow up the spot a little bit, seeing as my man is very talented. In the above interview, we talk about how he hooked up with Tona and how the album came about, how the features were selected, digging and sampling, producers he’s influenced by, future collaborations, his new mixtape w/ DJ Royale, and the follow-up to “Direct Deposit”, “The Payroll”. We also go into the studio and run through some beats from his library to showcase his versatility. Hit the jump for the beat session, as well as a “best of” compilation of his work featuring Tona, Ayah, Lindo P, JD Era, Promise, Drake, Richie Sosa, Famous, Saukrates, Theology 3, Skyzoo, & more.
