Latyrx feat. Lateef the Truth Speaker and Lyrics Born

Latyrx is a hip hop music group consisting of Lateef the Truth Speaker and Lyrics Born. The roots of their partnership lay in the formation of the Solesides collective at theUniversity of California, Davis. Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truthspeaker started out as the group, Latyrx, as part of Quannum Projects back in the day. They put out Latyrx: The Album and The Muzapper’s Remixes and appeared on Quannum Spectrum — all of which spawned classics like, “Balcony Beach”, “Lady Don’t Tek No”, “Storm Warning” and the titular track, “Latyrx”. Cited as one of the most influential, original and innovative hip-hop groups of the late 90′s, Latyrx was infamous for their creative style and unique rhymes and phrasing.

1-O.A.K.

Known by many for his collaborations with Teedra Moses, Too $hort and fellow HNRL member Trackademicks, to his remixes of Little Dragon and Penguin Prison, 1-O.A.K. finally presents his debut offering. Thirteen songs, entirely self-produced, Special Request couples 1-O.A.K.'s years of extensive vocal experience with personal musical ambition. Rooted in Oakland Soul and Funk, 1-O.A.K. manages to present a project that represents civic pride as well as his ability to transcend those roots, fusing everything from Hip-Hop, Samba to UK Funky. As R&B and Soul music are increasingly influenced by other genre's sensibilities, 1-O.A.K.'s sound will continue to nourish those with broad musical appetites.
