Transmittin’ Live The Radio EP!” -June 2009

In 2000, The Lyricists released their debut album titled “Outta Nowhere“, in reference to their location in Michigan (Port Huron). After working hard to get their name known and promoting themselves, The Lyricists dropped their second release in 2003 titled “Anti-Industry”. The title opposing the virtual machine which controls the state of hip-hop on a commercial level was the inspiration and motivation to their direction and sound they created.

The groups next release, “L3” (’05), short for level 3, symbolizes their third time around on a professional production together as artists who continue to elevate.

You can hear The Lyricists on and in rotation on various internet radio stations from Smoothbeats out of Philadelphia to Vinylexchange out of San Francisco. Their music and products are available online at thelyricists.net & myspace.com/thelyricists. Downloadable MP3’s are also available through Itunes. Check out The Lyricists mixtape release, “Get Heard or Die Tryin”, which came out in July 07′ which is a mixture of new & old songs dating back to 2002 & the groups first time working with different producers. Since then, The Lyricists signed with an independent label out of Baltimore Maryland (Bmore Original Records) founded by DJ Excel. The Lyricists are set to release 3 Eps and the first is Produced by DJ Excel titled “Transmittin’ Live! The Radio EP”.

Seldom do I want to kick my own ass for not hearing artists before I actually do. This is one of the instances I want to. They’re just mega dopeness. Beats, lyrics, the entire package. I can listen to entire joints, which as I’ve said before is a rarity. Once again, I fucks with them heavy! WOOOO!!! Peep for Self!
