25 years ago, a kid from Eugene fell in love with hip hop. Not the fame part. The art part. The part that makes you rewind a bar three times just to feel it land again.
That kid is Marv Ellis. And alongside DJ DV8, he's built something rare: a sound he calls Neuro-Spicy NW Hip Hop. It's folklore and lyricism. It moves your body and your mind. It's the kind of music that only comes from someone who chose the craft over everything else for a quarter century.
They're the longest-running hip hop duo in Oregon. And right now, they're stepping into what Marv calls his Gear 5 era: positive, uplifting, dynamic, and sharper than ever.

Main Street Grants Pass is a community-driven nonprofit working to strengthen downtown Grants Pass as the cultural, economic, and creative heart of Josephine County. Built on the four pillars of the national Main Street America framework, they focus on economic development, historic preservation, promotion, and community leadership. Born out of a 2024 effort where more than 70 local business owners, property owners, and residents came together to chart a Downtown Roadmap, the organization is actively shaping what the future of downtown looks like. The Hivve is proud to partner with Main Street Grants Pass because the work is aligned: build the kind of community people want to be part of, support the businesses and creators who make it worth showing up for, and invest in the places that bring us together.

Livve from The Hivve is a live music series produced in-house at The Hivve in Grants Pass, Oregon. Every show is intentionally curated to bring quality artists into an intimate room where the sound hits right and the crowd is close enough to feel it. These aren't just bookings. They're experiences built around artists we believe in, communities we want to strengthen, and nights people talk about long after the lights come up. From hip hop to soul to folk to everything in between, Livve from The Hivve exists to prove that world-class live music belongs in Southern Oregon.
