Marc Live, who grew up listening to Ultra and Keith, jumped at the chance, and started touring the United States and the world. He eventually produced the Black Elvis album for Ruff House Columbia in 1999 to great reviews, and also was responsible for the highly successful rap hip-hop tour that coincided with the album.
