Are you looking for some Hot Music? I mean, I hope you are, because that’s pretty much all we’ve got – in particular, the latest feature from DMV native and exclusive freestyle series alum Lyriciss should hit the spot. Those with long memories (or extensive record collections) may recognize this track’s production from SoHo‘s identically-titled instrumental, or from k-Os’ usage of the UK trio’s beat on Superstarr Pt Zero, or even from the original sample source material, Wynton Marsalis’ Skain’s Domain. Whether or not the classic beat rings a bell, though, the driving piano-breakbeat groove has a compulsively head-noddable old-school appeal and Lyriciss (true to his name) comes with on-point rhymes to match, positioning himself as the antidote to your average emcee: “I spit it for the blocks that you can’t even go to / I spit it for the hip-hop lovers with no ProTools… if you don’t see hope then I’m the bi-focals.” Digging this blast from the past? Keep it locked – Hot Music isn’t currently set to appear on any forthcoming project, but that could change very soon.

9 out of 10 artists would have a real tough time doing justice to this SoHo beat. Thankfully, Lyriciss stands as the 1 who would not. Dope.

Like the beat, surprised he was able to spit smoothly over it. Really like this one its fast but still he has an even flow throughout.

I always associate this beat with k-0s, who's one of those artists who will probably never get his due. Lyriciss had to come hard to get me to accept the latest version, and thankfully (and not surprisingly) he did. There's a small number of rappers would can go straight without a hook like this, and he's one of them.
@yubu8 Great call, I'd love to here K'naan on this beat too.

To be honest, I’ve never even heard of Lyriciss before. But wow, I can’t find anything that I don’t like about this track. Everything is perfect to me, the beat is perfect, the rhymes are perfect, everything is perfect, this is Hip-Hop!
CLASSIC! |

The track is dope and everything but I think the tempo is too fast for Jazz-Hip Hop collabo like this. The ending for me was what this track could have been. Its decent.

Flow Flow Flow Flow. Clearly evident in Lyriciss' ability to spit and put the beat in it's place. Production was simple, however I mean that in the best way possible. The piano and the small samples that go off in the background set this apart from most of the stuff that is out there.
"Everlasting flow, Everlasting track," yeah I think so. This was a great track. 3.5 |

Beat is somewhat lacking. The rapping is nice, but I think it was too fast for the beat.

The instrumental really makes Lyriciss' flow so powerful, and he come equipped with bars that cause SARS. This track is the sickness.
