Lyrycyst's Top Song: Showbiz Buy Album

Billboard

In a time when rap music has become predictable and stagnant, a young Midwest artist known as 'Lyrycyst' stands as a breath of fresh air.

In 2007, Steven Cooper (aka Lyrycyst) stormed into the mainstream with his remarkable debut album 'Masquerade.' The album was raved upon by media outlets and even coined in its own genre 'Alternative Rap.' With the success of his debut single and music video for 'Showbiz,' (featured on the Hip Hope 2008 Compilation and hailed as one of the best rap singles of the year) the Midwest rap-rocker had set the foundation for a long-term career. Extensive touring (over 400 live shows) and features with some of the biggest names in the business (David Cook, Tech N9ne, Pillar, TobyMac) would soon follow and build on that foundation. In winter of 2009, Lyrycyst returned with his much-anticipated follow-up album entitled 'Revolution.' Based around the core concept of overcoming obstacles and pursuing destiny, the album became a staple in the definitive sound of the eclectic artist and broadened the spectrum of what popular rap music 'should sound like.' Songs such as 'Blink' and 'You Can Be' offered fresh arrangements and instrumentation, while getting to the root of Lyrycystâ€™s storytelling abilities. Often times reminding newcomers why he was originally nicknamed 'The Lyricist' when he first started penning rhymes in high school.
