Lyrics born - Before and After
Way back in the early 2000's I worked in a coffee shop and used to talk music with my co-worker Oscar (Big-Moose). We would trade music (mixed MP3 burned on CD's) to expand each others musical awareness. He introduced me to the sounds of Eyedea, Lyric Born, Blackalicious, Black Star and many others.
