Blend a bit of Tupac's aggressive lyrics, add a pinch of the technique and delivery of Twista, and you get just a taste of Lyrycyst. Utilizing eclectic genres of hip-hop, emo, and even punk, this young rapper from the Heartland is able to present his unparalleled style and combination of influences in his live performances. Far beyond jumping on the stage and getting the audience to feel the beat ... lies the passionate and heart-driven message that Lyrycyst believes the world needs. His message: “Rap and Hip-hop music is not limited to guns, sex, and drugs." Heart & Heartland shine through on Lyrycyst’s KikStart Records debut, “American Dream”, scheduled to be released in late July 2006.
