Elvis de Oliveira, better known as E-Life, is a
rapper from
Rotterdam,
Netherlands. He is also a

E-Life started his music career with rap crew

DJ Raw Deal's move to the United States in 1995 prompted E-Life to go solo, touring through
Europe. His first solo single, ''Stacked With Honors'', came out a year later, in 1996. The song received a lot of airplay on the radio, but didn't make it to the charts. It was nominated for best hiphop song for the 1997
TMF Awards, and it allowed E-Life to perform with
