good one!Few emcees are blessed with a classic energy, vibe, voice, flow, lyrics, and product that can blow the listener’s mind with every listen. Founder of Quannum Records (home of Blackalicious), Lyrics Born has earned this honor somewhat early in his career. While he gained minor notoriety with his group Latyrx (featuring Lateef as his partner), Lyrics Born’s solo debut, Later That Day solidified his presence in hip-hop. Mainly self-produced, the LP told an original tale that took place over the course of 24 hours. The LP’s variety of themes, styles, and guests accentuated the cohesive intensity. While fans yearned for his sophomore solo effort, listeners are satisfied to learn Lyrics Born released a remix album titled Same Shit Different Day. With five brand new tracks, Same Shit Different Day features production by guest producers/remixers like Dan The Automator, Jumbo (of Lifesavas), Young Einstein of Ugly Duckling, Morecheeba, and DJ Spinna. Lyrics Born’s remix album is more satisfying and entertaining than the majority of releases out there containing new material.
