Eligh's Redemption: From Addiction to Artistic Revival
“By the grace of god, I survived that tour, including the European half of it, where it was just blind, just being wasted, just beyond belief, coming home, being really in a pretty depressed space, because my fiance at the time left me because of my drug use, and I was heartbroken and I was just a mess. And next thing, you know, I was never there.”
In this episode, MC Serch and Kyle Eustice sit down with Eligh, a key figure from the West Coast Hip-Hop collective Living Legends. Known for their massive influence on independent rap, Living Legends' success didn't shield Eligh from the dark grip of opiate addiction.

He dives into the pivotal role of support systems and how his passion for creativity became a lifeline during his recovery. Eligh also touches on the unique challenges of staying clean during quarantine and how digital art has become a therapeutic outlet for him. This episode offers a raw and uplifting narrative that will resonate with anyone facing addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Eligh's story of resilience and rediscovery.
