Rap legend Lyrics Born is gearing up for his final musical release, Goodbye, Sticky Rice, due out on October 25, 2024. With a career spanning over three decades, starting in the '90s with the iconic Northern California collectives SoleSides and Quannum Projects, he broke numerous barriers, including being the first Asian-American solo rapper to perform at major festivals like Lollapalooza and Coachella. Lyrics Born has received critical acclaim, with Later That Day being named one of Rolling Stone's "200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time," and his hit song "Callin' Out" featured in their "100 Greatest West Coast Hip-Hop Songs." Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he has branched out into film and television, appearing in Sorry to Bother You, Always Be My Maybe, and his YouTube cooking series Dinner in Place, which won a 2024 Telly Award. As he transitions from music to explore other entertainment ventures, Lyrics Born's influence continues to grow, with over 60,000 followers on Facebook and 91,000 on Instagram.
