Lyrics Born

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The first artist to release an EP on San Francisco's Soleside Records, Lyrics Born went under the original moniker Asia Born on 1993's Send Them before changing it three years later on his collaborations with labelmate Lateef. After being featured on Lateef's "The Wreckoning" b/w "Latyrx" single, Lyrics put out his own 12", "Balcony Beach" b/w "Burnt Pride," in October of 1996 before jumping in the studio again with Lateef and DJ Shadow as Latyrx for The Album in 1997. He began working on a solo album the following year, though it spen...[more]

 

 

Lyrics Born (a.k.a. Tom Shimura) has long been known for his innovative beats, creative collaborations, and soulful vocals. Here he takes a giant leap forward in song craft, incorporating elements such as pop, reggaeton, and R&B. It's the rare MC who can bridge the gap between hip-hop and alternative rock, owning the crowd at Bonnaroo and Bumbershoot as easily as he trades rhymes with Charlie 2na.

Lyrics Born's biggest hit to date, 'Callin' Out' spent 10+ weeks at the #1 slot on the charts at commercial alternative station, Live 105 in the Bay Area. In addition, it appeared at the top of the charts internationally in Australia and Europe, quickly becoming yet another one of LB's signature anthems. Throw this one on the platter at any function, and it isn't hard to see why.

The long awaited debut LP from Quannum/Solesides founding father and contributor to records such as Quannum Spectrum, Solesides Greatest Bumps, & Latyrx the album.

This classic double A-Side is the second single from LB's album, Same !@#$, Different Day. "I'm Just Raw" is a crunchy, hilarious Dan The Automator-produced "cap-session", which finds LB baggin' on wax, as only he can. "I'm Just Raw" is one of LB's most played singles of all time on the Bay Area's commercial radio station, Live 105, and it isn't hard to hear why. On the flip, the "Pack-Up Remix" is a monumental match-up among giants of Hip-Hop. The legendary KRS-One, Evidence (Dilated Peoples), and L   [ read more ]

LB loved Callin' Out so much he had to do it again. This time around he gets a little help from Bay Area legend E 40 and Casual from Hieroglyphics. With 3 new verses this track is fire! Long on title short on dissapointment, Do That There Young Einstein Hoo-Hoo Mix rocks the b side. For those not in the know, Young Einstein is the man behind the beats for Ugly Duckling
