After reuniting earlier this year for a handful of live performances, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truthspeaker are back as Latyrx and set to blowup soundsystems nationwide with their first-ever official mixtape, Latyrical Madness Volume 1. Mixed by DJ Zeph, the duo craft their socially-conscious verses over a diverse selection of instrumental samples, including old-school hip-hop, classic guitar solos, Bay Area’s signature Hyphy, and even a small taste of Raggaeton. Listen to the 55 minute mixtape in it’s entirety below.
The mixtape arrives just as the duo hit the West coast for a series of live appearances. Find the list of tour dates below.
