Underground, unsigned hip hop. Live emcee full of versatility, charisma, lyracisms, and she has her clothes on....but the lyrics are off the hook.

FreedomBand/artist history
Hip hop has gone from MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, talented female representatives of the art, to Lil Kim and Foxy Brown, fashion-crazed, money hungry eye candy. All hope for returning the dignity that Lyte and Queen worked so hard to uphold; or so we have been led to believe.
Enter Likwuid Styles, a female emcee fighting to overcome the stereotypes of being a woman, but also being from the state of South Carolina, a relatively untapped market as far as the industry is concerned. Her debut, Likwuidation: The 5th Element, is a slap in the face to any critics that share any of the aforementioned views.
The opening track, Forwarning (featuring E-Clipz), sets the tone for the album. Likwuid takes emceeing seriously, and it shows in her verses, delivery, and energy. While Ill-Natured, in-house producer for Likwuids label, handles most of the production work, DJ Ambush blesses Likwuidation with some of his best work. (Forwarning, and the Exorcist remix being a couple of the stand-outs). On Exorcist, Likwuid speaks on the concept of all female emcees needing a ghost-writer, letting the world know that she writes her own verses.
My personal favorites are South of The Border and Hospice (featuring Akshun). On South of the Border, Likwuid proclaims her Carolina pride, and shouts out the various regions of the state. On paper, it may sound like a gimic, but the depth of the verses, and the southern mannerisms that she addes to her flow makes this joint a definite banger. Hospice touches on how our generation is too dependent on drugs for an artificial high.
Other guest appearances include Dan Johns (The Promise), Hannibal of Odysee, Sacryfice (both featured on Peculiar Institution), Odysee, and Logic (Gametime) Gametime is arguably one of the best posse cuts to come out of South Carolinas hip hop scene in some years, with Likwuid preferring to set it off on the track instead of running the anchor. But the best appearance on the album comes from the incarcerated Style Young, who drops an accapella on the album via a prison telephone, declaring his loyalty to the Sweatbox family.
Likwuidation: The 5th Element is an album with a defined purpose. Contrary to public opinion, the art of emceeing is alive, no matter what gender you are. Peace.Have you performed in front of an audience?Live shows are like my oxygen. I perform all the time- any and everywhere: from my bathroom shower to Pyramids in NYC; I've been around, but there's no place like home.
Special Moments: My album release party April 22, in West Columbia. I got to perform infront of friends and family; it was great.

***To all those labels, producers, umm...just plain listener like myself who enjoy music and hot lyrics over tight beats you should check out Likwuid because all the tracks are hot. I think Likwuid could connect with an eskimo on Mars with the lyrics that she spits.
I dont usually feel comparisions but for the skeptics it should stop here. She reminds me of a 21st century Billie Holiday...yeah I love jazz to a hip-hop mixture of Alicia Keys and Ms. Beyonce' Knowles(2005)...the gyrl does it all and does it with taste. Yet her style is similar to none, a true mystery, but blessed skill on the way she's original. Which would definitely make a change on the outlook of the female emcee in the industry just as Outkast has done over the years, despite the many haters that tried countlessly to stand in the way.
***To Likwuid I say keep your head up and use the haters for food. You will be known for your style (physically and mentally) from the Kansas suburbia to the strips in Miami they'll
