Artist Review: J Lyrik


Now, when I come across most female artists, I'm automatically turned off by them trying to rap aggressively. (Key note: Men like sexy, not deadly) Anyway, when I first arrived to Texas State I was a big fan of the independent hip hop scene here and instantly fell in love with the only female emcee I've liked since MC Lyte. Meet J Lyrik, the spunky carefree yet realist woman you'll meet. At first glance, she may come off as your average man-eating emcee that refuses to conform to the rules of POP America. However, when actually listening to her work, you start to see a bit more than what you're use too. J's most infamous song, "Inform You (Protege)" which features a soulful songstress is the track that defines her and pretty much put her on the map. A song about young women watching their backs and their hearts when getting involved with men that may have questionable motives. J's other tracks such as "Rag Doll" and "Superman" are the reason your little sister should buy her album. The Underground scene has fell in love with her rants on not acting like a video vixen and taking charge of her art. No word yet as to when her next project is due to release, but her eager fans are ready for another dose of those "Grey Eyes."
