Lyriciss - They Told Me
Producer: G-Way
Album: Voice Of The Metro
Label: Inner Loop Records
My road to DJBooth.net superstardom wasn’t an easy one. Though nobody believed I could make it in the cold and unforgiving world of track reviews, I always knew I had something special, and, after countless hours spent copyediting and transcribing interviews, I can finally say I’ve made it to the big leagues—take that, haters! Well, okay, that wasn’t exactly how it went down; I was just so inspired by Booth newcomer Lyriciss’ underdog success story that I decided to try writing my own. From now on, I think I’ll leave that to the pros; as it turns out, They Told Me is a hard act to follow. The newly-released mixtape track finds the East Coast up-and-comer flowing over an exultant, brass-driven instrumental by G-Way, describing how quickly his doubters changed their tune when it became clear he was destined for success. While the triumphant tale of underground rhymesayer-turned-champion is a theme as old as rap itself, Lyriciss’ outsized braggadocio and vivid lyrical imagery make this cut a winner. Listeners who want to experience the next chapter in this rising star’s journey to the top should be sure and pick up a copy of his latest mixtape, Voice of the Metro, when it drops August 5th.

On display here are several qualities that are unrecognized as important: cadence, breath control, delivery, energy, relatabilty.
Welcome to the Booth, Lyriciss!

Brass-driven instrumental lends the musical background to Lyriciss' lyrical annihilation ... Rotation.

This is an all-around great record. Technically, lyrically, musically, solid at the least. Keep it up!

Waiting for the production to fill out with a bass line... It never came, instead it was replaced with ring tone type chime. Thats a big disappointment. Aside from that, lyriciss flow is strong. I look 4ward to more from him.

Delivery of this track got me, you came through in a big way with this one. And as a gamer, some of those lines had me hype. Keep going strong for the DMV as always.
