Who is Livesosa?
Born Anthony "Live" Mays in Fort Smith, Arkansas, LiveSosa isn't your run-of-the-mill rapper. This dude wears more hats than a haberdashery – he's simultaneously killing it as a film director, producer, songwriter, and performing artist. What strikes me about LiveSosa is his ridiculous versatility; he's equally at home behind a camera as he is gripping a mic.
Growing up immersed in a musical household that blasted everything from R. Kelly and Erykah Badu to Tupac and Biggie, LiveSosa developed a killer ear for melodies and beats that shines through in his work. He's spent years refining his voice into an instrument of its own, creating a distinctive sound that sets him apart from the crowd.
What's more impressive? He's done all this while coming from a region better known for its gang culture than its music scene. Through his production company, Autumn Universal, LLC / FOREVER LIT, he's on a mission to put Arkansas on the hip-hop map through his groundbreaking film techniques and marketing savvy.

After diving deep into LiveSosa's music videos, I'm convinced we're witnessing the rise of an artist who deserves way more recognition. His unique blend of soulful street poetry, cinematic vision, and entrepreneurial drive sets him apart in today's oversaturated music industry.
