Interview with Lerix – A hip-hop artist from Brooklyn

Lerix is a Brooklyn based emcee whose recording style is progressive and reminiscent of hip-hop’s “Golden Era.” His infatuation with hip-hop started at a young age, thanks to the influence of his older cousin, Hank Love, who was the co-host of 105.9’s “Hank love and Half-Pint show.” Soon enough, Lerix started writing and recording songs of his own. Lerix’s music is often compared with hip-hop heavy weights like Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. We interviewed him this week.

Hi Lerix, please introduce yourself to our music lovers.

“Hi! My name is Lerix, I’m a hip-hop artist from Brooklyn, NY”

2) How did you come up with your stage name?

“Lyrics was just a name people called me growing up because I was always writing song lyrics in my notebooks. I ended up running with the name but I flipped the spelling to make it a little more unique to me.”

3) What sets you apart from other aspiring artists?

” I’m not so “rock star” as most artists are. I’m usually one of the nerdiest guys in the room and I fully embrace that.”

4) What single or project are you currently pushing?
