The Lyricists



We're finally back again, and the next two posts will be highlighting artists that deserve some shine. The artists I want to focus on for this post are The Lyricists. The group is made up of Rym-B and Illtone out of Port Huron, MI (Rym-B is originally from Detroit) and represent the foundation of hip hop. Be clear, although this may be the first time you've heard of them, these aren't rookies. These dudes have been putting in work for over 10 years, with their first release, Outta Nowhere, in 2000. They have since released two more albums, Anti-Industry (2003; ironic huh?) and L3 or "Level 3" (2005). They've also dropped a number of EPs and mixtapes.

As their group name may suggest, The Lyricists are true MCs that maintain an updated sound while continuing to stay true to the essence of hip hop. This is the type of stuff that hip hop heads look for and is what the group strives to provide. Below are two songs from their upcoming mixtape Constructicons. The mixtape will be available to download for FREE on August 17th. In the meantime, listen to the two tracks below and be sure to leave feedback.





For more information, you can check them out at thelyricists.bandcamp.com/ and/or www.TheLyricists.net. Their previous work is available in a number of places, including iTunes. If you like what you heard, be sure to check their other music out! Leave your comments on the above songs here on the post and of course, you can always e-mail at straightouttahiphop@gmail.com. 

Peace.
