Why this name?

A LONG PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. IT WAS CREATED IN 2002, ITS BEEN A LONG 8 YEARS SINCE. HOWEVER I HAVE ALIASES IM USING ALSO "SARGAENT SLAUGHTER", "MOUNTAIN MAN", "JIM JOKER" AND "IQ". CURRENTY I AM USING THE KLIVE KRAVEN NAME.

Do you play live?

THOUSANDS OF BATTLES, PRETTY MUCH NOTHING OTHER THEN THAT YET. A FEW HOUSE PARTYS ALSO. LOOKING TO DO SHOWS THOUGH, CONTACT ME FOR BOOKINGS!!!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

NO DOUBT, DISTRIBUTION! IT HAS ALLOWED ME TO SET UP MY OWN STORE, GET MY NAME AND MUSIC TO BE HEARD BY MILLIONS. AND GIVES PEOPLE IN HIGHER POSITIONS THE CHANCE TO HEAR MY WORK. HOWEVER IT HAS ALSO GIVEN GARBAGE MUSICIANS AND WHACK LYRICISTS THE CHANCE TO FLOOD THE NET WITH THERE SO CALLED "MUSIC"! IT HAS ITS UP'S AND DOWN'S I GUESS...

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

NO, I ALREADY HAVE MY LABEL "GOLDMINDED RECORDS" ALSO IM SIGNED AS A PRODUCER TO ANNO DOMIN RECORDS. I'D RATHER DROP MY RAW UNCUT MATERIAL THEN WATERED DOWN POP BUBBLE GUM BULLSHIT HIP-HOP! BEYOND THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW LABELS I WOULD EVER EVEN CONSIDER SIGNING WITH.

Band History:

== Klive Kraven as a emcee ==

Klive Kraven was born on February 13, 1988 in Baltimore, Maryland. Back in 1994 at the young age of 6, he had already began his venture into underground hip-hop. Growing up in Pasadena, Maryland he was encouraged to follow his dreams by fellow peers. In 1996-1998 He released his first demo cassettes under several different monikers, which were locally distributed. In 1999 he realeased his first demo compact disc, which contained 4 tracks no longer in circulation. Two years later in 2001 Klive Kraven (then known as IQ "The Number 1 Goon"), started Goldminded Records. This is the label that currently houses Klive Kraven, he is also the president and C.E.O. of this label, which houses several other artists including: Plague Plenty, Absoulut Karnage, Fundament, Yac, Internal Mental, Dyad Souls, Shellshock, Anonamix, 5th Element, Lost Legends, Vociferous Villains, Funeral Directors and several others. In 2008 Klive Kraven officially established Goldminded Records legally and began to create the empire that it is today. In 2009 Klive formed a group called "lost Legends" who released their first album on Christmas of 09'. Now in 2010 Klive is working on a new album titled "Unique Universe" that will feature industry legends such as: Copywrite, Q-Unique, Mr. Hyde, Sean Strange, C-Rayz Walz and others. With a release date set for 10.10.10. Kraven has recently delivered a new EP to hold the fans over until the "Unique Universe" release. The EP is titled "The Adventures of Mountain Man" and is available for free download right.

---------------------------------------------------------------

== Klive Kraven as a producer ==

Kraven had started creating productions back in 2001. He has produced for several emcees on his label and several others who are simply affiliated. Kraven has been quoted as saying: "I have been doing this a long time now, when people ask me for a beat I just ask there style. I've been making beats for 8 years, I have thousands of beats sitting in my arsenal". Kraven has also released several full length instrumental albums under his label Goldminded Records. In 2009, Klive Kraven was signed to Anno Domini Records, a production dream team of 7 highly talented producers. 2011 holds a bright future for the upcoming emcee/producer.
