TRAKTIVIST RADIO - EP 010 w/ LYRICS BORN

 

THIS IS A MUST LISTEN SHOW! We interview the funkiest rapper alive, the legendary LYRICS BORN! We discuss the new release of his historic 10th Album #QuiteALife. We focus on the song “Don’t Lost Your Daydream,” breaking down the trials & blatant racism as an Asian American artist, as well as the joys being a rapper of Japanese American ethnicity. We also learn the inspirational stories behind the track “Can’t Lose My Joy” ft. Aloe Blacc, which details Lyrics Born & wife/artist Joyo Velarde’s 15 year battle with cancer, all while pursuing careers as artists. Lastly, we dive into his new path as an actor, his recent role in Boot’s Riley’s critically acclaimed film “Sorry To Bother You”, and get some behind the scenes context of that marketing firm which was an actual company that Lyrics Born worked at!
