Groundbreaking, charismatic, and stylish – Tokyo-born Bay Area rapper Lyrics Born makes hip-hop that’s more than just boasts about bling, that’s more about funk than funds.
His beats are carefully crafted from years of pillaging rare soul, funk and rock records – his is the kind of robust, freewheeling hip-hop that followers of Outkast and Jurassic 5 will love.
”’Everywhere at Once’ … a focused and thoughtfully crafted party record that finds Lyrics Born employing a live band to work up his newfound love of shimmering, shining pop-funk, even as he expands his hoop-jumping, rat-a-tat rhymes.” Billboard
Support Stephanie McKay, currently working with Basement Jaxx and singer for Oi Va Voi.
£12.00 (20 tickets available @ £10 quoting ‘RISING STYLES’ when booking)
