This week's guest is Lyric Michelle.  The chicago-born, Houston raised MC got her start performing poetry and then quickly branched into creating music.  Her 2016 album, Miss Direction, garnered her awards from the Houston Press, a spot performing in the pregame festivties for the Super Bowl, and the hunger to create more. She moved out to Los Angeles where she became part of a Nike campaign, started to expand her brand into film, and linked up with Top Dawg from TDE.  She can currently be found on the project A Room Full Of Mirrors alongside Punch, Daylyt, Nick Grant, and more.  We speak with her about the creation of her debut album, what it was like growing up in Houston, working alongside the record executive responsible for Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, and Sza, what she has coming in the future, and more.

Episode 96 - Lyric Michelle

In this episode of PoPolitickin, we politick with Lyric Michelle.Chicago bred and Houston raised, the music of Lyric Michelle pays homage to both; fusing southern charm, a touch of poetry and a blast of ferocious lyricism to deliver a sound that is uniquely her own. Initially getting her start in poetry, in time it would be music that would steal her heart, as she smoothly transitioned from penning prose to spitting bars. For Lyric the transition was not only smooth, it was natural. Or as she describes it, “Hip Hop is poetry. Think of Eminem, Lupe, Lauryn. Real hip hop and poetry are different sides of the same coin.”A woman on a mission, for Lyric it’s not just about the music; it’s about opening doors for a new crop of female emcees intent on proving that when it comes to lyrical skill they can go toe to toe with any of their male peers in the game. And indeed she can, as proven after being selected as a Pop Montreal Festival Artist and repeated appearances as an official SXSW and A3C artist.In short, “Her appeal lies in the manner in which she intertwines beauty and sheer talent, a feat that has garnered her comparisons to one of her own musical icons, Lauryn Hill.” Like they say, what’s a song without a Lyric.
