The discography of Mr. Lif, an American hip hop artist from Boston, Massachusetts, consists of two full-length studio albums, two EPs, one live album, two compilation albums, as well as ten singles, and four music videos. He has also made many appearances on other artists' tracks and on compilations. Releases with his group The Perceptionists are not included.
Mr. Lif made his recording debut in 1997 with the self-produced song "This Won" on the Boston compilation Rebel Alliance. His debut vinyl single, "Elektro", was released on Nos Productions in 1998. This was followed by two more singles, "Triangular Warfare" and "Farmhand" (both in 1999), released on Brick Records and Beastie Boys' Grand Royal respectively. Mr. Lif then signed to El-P's Definitive Jux label and released two EPs—Enters the Colossus in 2000 and Emergency Rations in 2002—before releasing his debut full-length, the concept album I Phantom, in 2002. Mr. Lif's second album, Mo' Mega, was released on Definitive Jux in 2006.
