Overview
E-Life is Mint Condition's second album for the label Image Entertainment.
The first single released from E-Life was the song "Baby Boy, Baby Girl"- with an alternate version sent to radio featuring guest vocals from neo-soul singer Anthony Hamilton. The second single "Nothing Left to Say" featured a music video directed by fellow Minneapolis, Minnesota native and independent filmmaker Wayne H. Johnson, Jr.[5] The music video was created by the faculty and students of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business.[6] Members of the school's Music Business program, digital video and media production programs were primarily responsible for the making of the video.[7]
The song "Why Do We Try" was later covered by Robert Glasper with Mint Condition frontman Stokley Williams on Glasper's 2012 album Black Radio.
