Lyrics Born @ El Rey

12 11 2007

Fri, Nov 16. | Goldenvoice:
Lyrics Born with Ryan Shaw

Doors @ 7pm | $18.00

El Rey Theatre
5515 Wilshire Blvd |
Los Angeles | CA | 90036

The first artist to release an EP on San Francisco’s Soleside Records, Lyrics Born went under the original moniker Asia Born on 1993′s Send Them before changing it three years later on his collaborations with labelmate Lateef. After being featured on Lateef’s “The Wreckoning” b/w “Latyrx” single, Lyrics put out his own 12″, “Balcony Beach” b/w “Burnt Pride,” in October of 1996 before jumping in the studio again with Lateef and DJ Shadow as Latyrx for The Album in 1997. He began working on a solo album the following year, though it spent five years in the workshop before appearing on Quannum as Later That Day… The success of his debut prompted LB to release a modified version of it, 735926Same !@#$ Different Day, which contained new material as well as remixes of older songs, and in 2006, after an extensive world tour, the MC issued Overnite Encore: Lyrics Born Live! The majority of the record was taken from two 2005 performances in Australia, but also included new studio tracks. – allmusic.com

Zeph & Azeem @ Knitting Factory Hollywood

11 11 2007

Nov. 14, 2007
Zeph & Azeem,
Apostle with DJ Quest,
plus special guests Radioinactive,
Akuma,
& DJ LA Jae from The Shapeshifters
Knitting Factory
7021 HOLLYWOOD BLVD.,
LOS ANGELES, CA 90028
TICKETS

Rise Up, the long-awaited album from veteran underground emissaries Zeph & Azeem, offers thirteen tracks worth of consciousness-lifting metaphors, party-rocking beats, and undiluted, 100% rebel music. In the tradition of classic pairings like Guru & Premier, the D.O.C. and Dr. Dre, Erik B. and Rakim ( and more recently Aceyalone and RJD2), Rise Up matches one DJ/Producer with one MC, with suitably stellar results. Rise Up emanates with an almost-punk rock attitude reminiscent of the earl days of hip-hop, when Grandmaster Flash and the Clash could play the same bill and not raise eyebrows. -Knitting Factory

Upcoming Shows:
Nov 14 2007 Knitting Factory Hollywood, California
Nov 15 2007 Blunt Club Mesa, Arizona
Nov 17 2007 Kava Lounge San Diego, California
Nov 24 2007 Detroit Bar Costa Mesa, California
