In 2003 the LifeSavas crew Vursatyl, Jumbo and DJ Shines released the spectacular “Spirit in Stone” album. With conscious introspection glazed over soul-funkdafied grooves, the LifeSavas delivered for the left coast, a true underground master work.

In 2007 the dynamic trio from P-Town (Portland, Oregon) struck again with the critically acclaimed “Gutterfly” album. With Jumbo “The Garbage Man” aka Sleepy Floyd at the wheel, the emcee Vursatyl aka Bumpy Johnson and DJ Shines as Jimmy Slimwater riding shotgun front to back, the triple threat from Razorblade City broke’em off something smooth & proper, while popping off dumpster-sized rounds of funky fresh beats along with thought provoking rhymes straight from the heart and mind.

Dubcnn sat down with the LifeSavas for an in depth 3-part exclusive, where we learned how the LifeSavas crew formed and eventually teamed up with Blackalicious (Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel) and the independent Quantum Projects label.

In our first interview, Chad Kiser & Norff Wess caught up with the producer/emcee Jumbo aka Sleepy Floyd, to learn about the beginning and how it all started, from his perspective. We talk about music, politics, the death of Michael Jackson and more.
