Livelihood came together in the summer of 2012 after Quon and MOEtivation realized how great their chemistry was from their past collaborations on songs and performances. Before becoming a duo, both were artists represented by the now defunct street label, D.O.P.E. Music. 
 Since becoming a group, Livelihood opened for Joe Moses and Kxng Crooked and competed in, and won Sean Healey’s “Battle For Beats” show in February 2014, with celebrity judges DJ Mustard and Steve Lobel. Following the show and competition, they released their first mixtape, Modest Beginnings and numerous singles throughout the years. In 2015 they released their merchandise line which includes shirts, hoodies, and hats. 
 Today, Livelihood is continuing to do independent shows throughout Los Angeles and their EP, Too Live Crew, will be released in early 2018.
