Description
Bay-area rapper Tom Shimura has been making music under the moniker Lyrics Born ever since his college days at UC Davis. An early freestyle session at the college radio station KDVS grew into the first single recorded on SoleSides Records, a collaborative venture with MC Gift of Gab, Chief Xcel (the two would later become Blackalicious), DJ Shadow and Lateef the Truthspeaker. In 2003 Lyrics Born delivered his most complete and most commercially successful album, Later That Day, along with his first charted single, "Callin' Out." Since then Lyrics Born has kept busy with a number of collaborations that have kept him touring an average of 150 days a year.
