I guess having Lyricks on just one track wasn’t enough for Dope Inc. They’ve enlisted him for an encore, plugging him into the tail end of “Hustle Hard” with the last verse. The video is a mixed bag of performance and in-studio footage with the latter utilizing a borderline obnoxious strobe. I know Lee, Ricks is on his SuperNoVa studio grind for DMV area artists, but I think it’s about time we hear a new solo joint.

Snapshot: Rekstizzy x Decipher x Lyricks x Dumbfoundead – The Comic
I saw this recently over at Gumship and thought the image was too cool not to share. The illustration is by Jaeil Cho, and depicts four prominent Asian-American artists at a table – namely Rekstizzy, Decipher, Lyricks, and Dumbfoundead. Most have shared … Continue reading
See the “Mother’s Day” MV by Alexander Jung
Last month, the rapper formerly known as Aero-K released an album called the Bedroom Project under his name, Alexander Jung. The project featured the previously released single, “DRMR”, and contains features from Lyricks, Misfit, Braille and others. One of the songs on the album is “Mother’s Day”, for which the music video was released yesterday to coincide with the holiday. But this isn’t some happy, lovey-dovey tune; it’s actually a dark and hauntingly honest dissection of Jung’s experiences with the matriarchal figures in his life.
Lyricks Collabs with Dope Inc on “Virginia”
Lyricks stepped in the booth with Dope Inc on a state of the union song called “Virginia”. It’s a straightforward Hip-Hop track for purist fans of the genre. The visual is a simple, in-studio video that ties together the artists that call the 10th state of the USA home. The only thing to keep in mind is that with so many verses, the hook gets a bit repetitive by play’s end. Stay till the end to see a little rehearsal footage of JL & Mani.

BellyOut Presents the “The Introduction” by Visual Audio (C-Note x J. Shep)
The BellyOut crew is preparing an album under the moniker of Visual Audio (C-Note & J. Shep), and the following is “The Introduction” to the newly christened collective, featuring long time BellyOut affiliate, Lyricks. This is more of the fundamental, raw style of Hip-Hop that the VA fellas from SuperNoVA and BellyOut are so fond of – so you should be pretty well versed on what to expect from feature releases by this group of artists.
Decipher, Dumbfoundead, Lyricks, Rekstizzy Share Thoughts on LINSANITY, V-Day & the Hoekstra Ad with Gumship
This piece by Gumship isn’t a conventional interview, which is probably a good thing considering that the board they went to for opinions in their February Recap isn’t your conventional collection of MCs. Decipher, Dumb, Lyricks, and Rekstizzy all contribute their two pennies on a wide range of topics including #LINSANITY, past Valentine’s Day experiences, what they would do with Facebook money and more. Check it out in full over at Gumship, it’s one of the more entertaining reads we’ve come across in a while!
Alexander Jung (Aero-K) Collabs with Lyricks and MC Misfit on “DRMR”
Happy President’s day everyone! Hopefully you had today off, but if not, maybe some new music will help move it along. Alexander Jung (formerly known as Aero-K) has a new track out, a collaboration with Lyricks and MC Misfit called “DRMR”. The song is the lead single off Alex’s upcoming debut solo LP - Bedroom Project. Jung isn’t quite as polished as his counterparts, and their addition to the song really help by given it some added firepower. You can DL the track from his bandcamp.
Lyricks Features for G2 on “It’s My Thing”
Lyricks decided to take things in a multi-lingual route with this new collab with Korean-speaking G2. They each take two verses a piece with G taking providing the bi-lingual raps on a track called “It’s My Thing” – with a music video to boot. The video is a mildly entertaining watch, though the song itself is the stronger of the two mediums.
The Youtube Collab Round-Up – 1/31/12
We figured why not end the last day of the first month with a new batch of Youtube covers. This round-up is another sampling platter of collaborations among different artists. There’s a lot of acoustic music in this particular grouping, with one particular exception. As always, the production qualities vary wildly but there should be something for everyone to enjoy.
