Snapshot: Lyricks x Dumbfoundead x Esna Yoon x Manifest x Zo x Lyraflip x JL

L to R: Lyricks, Dumbfoundead, Esna Yoon, Manifest, Zo, Lyraflip, JL

I’m honestly not sure when or where this picture was taken, or even how we found it. But my best guess is that this is on set of the music video for “Lava” by JL, L. Scatterbrain, Lyraflip, Lyricks, Manifest, Dumbfoundead and DJ Zo – meaning the photo has to be at least a year and a half to two years old. How’s that for a Snapshot in time? Esna makes an appearance though L.S. is curiously missing… perhaps he’s taking the picture?

Odd to think how much has happened since this photo was taken. Mani & JL have been to Korea and back again (welcome home fellas!), Lyricks has remained a staple in the DMV/East Coast Hip-Hop scene, Dumb & Zo have been conquering the world… and I dunno where Flip & Scatter are right now. They’ve been kind of quiet, fell off our radar a bit. Can’t wait to see what will become of everyone in another two years!

Say Cheese!

Lyraflip Releases the “Anesthesia” Video

a-Tunes.net — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 05:17:56 +0000

Underground SoCal rapper Lyraflip is starting to branch out on his own again and has some new visuals for a song called “Anesthesia”. It’s a simple, no-frills Hip-Hop track – kind of refreshing except for the weird mixdown. Also, I found the inclusion of the females dancing in the back of some of the scenes kind of awkward. The whole thing is kind of lo-fi but the track is pretty raw.

Inspire Presents Performance of LAVA by L. Scatter x Lyraflip x Lyricks x Mani x JL x DFD x DJ Zo

You’ve seen the MV for this mega posse cut, but now you get to see L. Scatterbrain x Lyraflip x Lyricks x Manifest x JL x Dumbfoundead & DJ Zo all perform “LAVA” live. It’s crazy to see so many of our talented MC’s on stage at one time on the same track. Watch it through till the end where DFD forgets his verse but freestyles the whole thing without missing a beat. That’s raw.

You’ve read about it here for months but the time has finally arrived. Guaranteed Raw, the debut mixtape for Virginia MC JL is now available. To mark the release real proper he’s also dropped an MV for one of the posse tracks entitled LAVA. You clever folk probably picked up that it stands for LA to VA… Los Angeles to Virginia. The video was directed by Lyricks and features a TON of footage. It’s straight hip-hop, no sugar coating… and it’s refreshing.

Lookin’ Back: Lyricks vs Lyraflip @ Kollaboration 2K5

a-Tunes.net — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:05:42 +0000

With the Asian Hip-Hop Summit tour in full swing and the gathering of Asian-American MC’s from all over I thought it’d be fun to take a look back to over 4 years ago where two prominent figures of today’s Summit battled it out for yesterday’s pride.

Check this oldie battle from the 2005 Kollaboration competition where Lyricks & Lyraflip competed in an old-fashioned freestyle battle. You may know em now, but did you know em back then?
