Lyrics Born dropped his new single, “Lies X 3”. The track is the lead single off his upcoming album “As U Were”. Lyrics Born has gone about the creation of his latest effort, “As U Were”, in a less-than-conventional manner. While touching on newer subjects, he also reached out to artists that he felt removed himself from his comfort zone. “It’s at the point in my career where I’ve been through a lot, fun and not so fun. I think I’m dealing with a lot issues that are more mature than the last few albums, from abandonment to betrayal to incredible joy”. He voices these sentiments prominently on the lead single “Lies x 3”, a driving, heartfelt plea for truth.

“The new record is more synth-oriented. I made an effort to work with younger artists: Trackademicks, Francis and The Lights, and Sam Sparro, namely”. The Bay-swagger is in full effect on “Funky Hit Records”, and while the new guests add a new dimension to the sound, Lyrics Born isn’t one to lose sight of his roots. Gift Of Gab drops a thought-provoking verse on the critical “Pills” and the classic Latyrx tag-team offers the catchy “Pushed Aside, Pulled Apart”, one of the album’s standout cuts. As U Were may well be Lyrics Born’s greatest achievement, but it’s been a long time coming.

Bay Area Independent Rap Legend Lyrics Born has joined forces with New York multimedia powerhouse Decon for the sake of quality trans-national hip-hop. The multi-faceted musician plans to release his third solo effort, As U Were on October 26th on Decon. You can download the single “Lies x 3″ here or here.
