Most artists thrive on the thought of being famous, others just want to be loved, as for LV... well he just wants to be heard. Born in Anchorage, Alaska to an Army Staff Seargent and loving mother, Levonne Hocker Jr rightfully named after his father, was destined to leave his mark on the world. Taking his first breath at the end of what some considered to be the last era of "Real Hip Hop," 1989 signified a change in rap culture forever.

Known for his ability to take real life situations and turn them into ground breaking songs, the release of "Who is this" added yet another knotch on his journey to success. "I look at the world as my drawing board, everything around us is a musical note and when you're able to 
put it all in perspective and play it through your speakers, you get that unique LV brand." 
 
Creating music with a sense of timelessness and Nostalgia continues to be the leading force behind LV's growth and success in the entertainment industry. "Growing up listening to the stories of Slick Rick, Rakim and Nas you could't help but develop a passion for the art of Hip Hop. Even as a youngster I was intrigued by the very concept of music; the instruments, the rhythms, and the rhymes all lead to me picking up my first violin and making my first beat on FL Studios, to now rocking the mic in front of thousands of screaming fans." 
 
Growing up in the one of the poorest counties in North Carolina just 30 minutes outside of Fayetteville, which is the hometown of 2014 Forest Hill dr Composer and Roc Nation's own J Cole, LV was determined to make it out with the intentions of one day, giving back to a 
community that stood by him when he had nothing. "I think people really began to take me serious when I released "Addicted to Twerking" [which is] a club hit that sampled VH1 star Stevie Ryan, that skyrocketed to 70,000 views on Youtube without any major labels or marketing companies promoting it". 
 
Over the last decade LV has released numerous projects such as his first solo mixtape entitled "Welcome to North Carolina" with two follow up mixtapes, "Now or Never" and the marginally successful "LVNation" adding to the franchise and solidifying his name in the underground 
music scene in North Carolina. "I can truly see the growth from where I was when I first started, to where I am now... and I must say the journey has definitely humbled me." On the brink of releasing his latest project entitled "LVnation Reloaded" LV plans to take the fans on a ride 
with him, a journey into his world or what he likes to call... LVnation!
