He played all his hits, such as tracks from Lighthouses, and They Don’t Have This, and he brought the house down every time. The great thing about The Grouch, is that although his raps are fast paced and wordy, he still manages to articulate, and especially in a live performance, I feel like I can relate really well to the lyrics. The applause was epic, and everyone was jumping up and down, begging him to continue with the incredible song. Half way through the song, he signalled for the music to have an interlude, and welcomed everyone to the show. He came on stage to the intro music, and launched straight into the song, before introducing himself, or his DJ. Everyone was cheering like mad, and the opening music for his track Wish You a Good Day played over the auditorium. His support act got everyone in the mood for his set, so the energy was really high and pretty intense before he even came out on stage. He’s also collaborated on some big tracks with artists such as Eligh, and Zion I over the years. The Grouch, is involved with the underground hip hop group Living Legends, and has been extremely influential in the rapping community over the past 20 years. Other than the 8 studio album’s Scoffern released that decade under his moniker The Grouch he also put out several releases with his Living Legend’s co-members Eligh and Zion I and in 2002 produced Felt’s debut album “Felt: A Tribute to Christina Ricci”.Ĭorey Scoffern, aka. Not only was Scoffern functioning as a solo artist and a member of the Living Legends he was also participating in multiple side projects and making several guest appearances on other artist’s albums.

The 2000s proved to be just as busy as the 90s. He put out 5 more albums before the close of the 90s including “Nothing Changes” (1996), “Success Is Destiny” (1997), “Fuck the Dumb” (1998), “You’re Not the 1” (1998), “Simple Man” (1999), and “Making Perfect Sense” (1999). This album was the start of a giant wave of consecutive releases. His first album “Don’t Talk to Me” came out in 1995 through the Living Legends record label. His performance sailed with success and the audiences positive feedback encouraged him to keep up the rap game. He started penning songs in ’94 and just a year later played his first gig at the Journeymen’s “Broke Ass Summer Jam” shows. Taking inspiration from local west coast iconoclasts such as Digital Underground, Too Short, and “Tony! Toni! Tone!”, Scoffern constructed a musical style that was poignant, but not overtly self-serious. The Grouch broke out as a solo rap artist around the mid 90s. The collective have been credited for independently selling close to 300,000 units and are likewise recognized as being one of the few rap groups to avoid the typical appeal to gangsta hip-hop, opting instead for a more straightforward style. They seemed to do everything themselves including recording, promotion and album distribution.

The Living Legends were one of the most diligent rap projects in the greater LA area. The group was originally comprised of BFAP, PSC, and the Grouch, but later expanded to include the members of Melancholy Gypsys: Eligh, Scarub and Murs. Before Scoffern took up the path of a solo artist he lugged in a fair amount of time with the loosely assembled rap collective the Living Legends.
