"Reaching For The Stars" 101 with LyriC' B.
Its been a total of 4 years since the teenage underground
recording artist started posting his music online. He wasn't aware where it would take him but
knew in order to make his dreams come true he had to start somewhere, and
YouTube was his start. "Never in my
wildest dreams did I imagine at the age of 19 I would be seeing the
manifestation of prophecies spoken over my life years ago coming into
fruition," LyriC' says while gazing out of a window at The Marriott Hotel
here in Atlanta. On February 8, 2013 Mr.
B released an online YouTube video entitled "Big Announcement." He informed us listeners that May 23rd he'd
be releasing his 1st mix tape entitled "Reaching For the Stars". It was also said that he's the new songwriter
for Geffen A & M Interscope Records, which is a really big look for an
underground artist whose been grinding so hard on his music the past 4 years.
Join me as we get a deeper look into (The Real LyriC' B.) And talk more about
his first big project!
Tia:"Congratulations on all the success, would you say
it feels as though you've arrived?"
LyriC': "Absolutely not!" " I grew up in a
very big humble family and there's no way I
could ever get the big head. .I feel as though yes I've made many
sacrifices (especially in 2012) to get to where I am but I still have a very
long way to go."
Tia: "A lot of people were concerned about your well
being, with the deactivation of your twitter account and no news on the CD many
rumors spread through out the blogs and streets on your where abouts, care to
address any of them?"
LyriC':" Well for one I did not commit suicide (he
laughs) yeah I've heard a little of everything from people." "In all
actuality what it is is that after I released my single "Promise"
(off 2013's debut mix-tape) all hell broke loose in my life." "Its no
secret the little trouble with the law I got into back in March, but even after
that I suffered many losses and sacrificed so much. ." LyriC' B. continued
to say," 6 months ago my fiance' and grandfather Tex passed away and on
New Years Day my very good friend Jared Billings was murdered, I had vocal
surgery, Fired my manager (he pauses) a lot happened. So when you put all that
into perspective I had to take a break, I needed time to myself. But umm... it
happened how it did, it happened for a reason, God is good. I'm back and I'm
taking over (he laughs).
Tia:" Well we're all glad your back and getting ready
to release your mix-tape congratulations!" "Tell us about the CD what
can we expect? Who are you working with?"
LyriC': "Reaching For The Stars" is an incredible
CD. You know up until now I've only
released singles and featured on a lot of artist albums. For the longest I've
placed my life and career in everyone else's hands and that's the mistakes I've
made. No one really knows who I am behind the music. This CD you really get to
see who I am. Its a combination of hip hop, r & b, pop, and crunk music.
It's something for everyone to listen to and for the most part all original
music that I've written. Right now my boy Mayz, B.Cox, J. Juliano and Fall Out
Entertainment are producing records for the mix tape. Hoping and praying that this CD does well my
label may renegotiate my contract.
Tia:" That's right your a songwriter for a major label
now, congrats!" (Unfortunately I couldn't post thee entire interview but I
was able to get this much out of the newly signed artist. )"LyriC' what is
it your trying to accomplish with your music other than fame?"
LyriC': " I want to show little girls and little boys
from the hood that with hard work, dedication, faith in yourself and sacrifice
you can make your dreams come true just as I have." "For everything
that I've been through and adversities I've seen in my life music was my only
out let to a better life, I've sacrificed so much time, blood, and soul to make
my dreams come true and I only know that this is the beginning and I have no
regrets.
After having a refreshing 45 minute interview with the now
signed artist I can really say I'm even more of a fan than I was before. With
an ear for music he carefully creates the soulful sound that pours out
emotional real records such as "with me", "promise", and
"bye". Which are all singles from this phenomenal mix tape that drops
online and hits the streets May 23rd.
For those of you who would like your hard cover copy and
deluxe version of "Reaching For The Stars", follow @teamlyricb on
twitter. Any and everyone else can stay posted for thee online release on
www.livemixtape.com this May. LyriC' we are extremely proud of you and all your
dreams coming true. Your life and light
is a true testament to the fact that dreams really can come true if you put
dedication and drive in to it. Its ya girl Ms. Tia! And I look forward to bringing
you more information on this beautiful star!! ;) <3 ;) <3
