Lyrics Born relocated to the United States from his birthplace of Toyko, Japan right around the time Hip Hop was exploding on the East Coast. From the moment he heard Sugar Hill Gangās 1980 classic āRapperās Delight,ā the Bay Area Hip Hop luminary knew heād found his calling. Twenty-five years later, LB has obliterated the stereotypes of what an MC is āsupposed toā look like and captured the hearts of countless fans who gravitate to his distinctive voice. Heās now the only Asian-American MC to release 10 studios albums and the first to play major music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza. From āStop Complainingā to āCallinā Outā and āI Like It, I Love Itā and āI Changed My Mind,ā his material has always retained a musically eclectic feel. The self-proclaimed āfunkiest rapper aliveā carries on his tradition of weaving funk and soul into classic, boom-bap Hip Hop on new album Quite A Life.
