**LYRICS BORN**
**Embraces Collaboration withBombastic New Full Length_MOBILE HOMIES
SEASON 1_

**Out April 15, 2022**  

**MARCH 17, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) **— “I really believe in the spirit of collaboration
and working together,” says Japanese American rapper/actor **LYRICS BORN**. “My 
medium is music and art, and nothing great comes out of working alone.” With that
sentiment on the mind, LB collected a massive array of friends and collaborators
for a new record of bombastic tracks, **_Mobile Homies Season 1 _**(**Mobile Home
Recordings **release date: **April 15, 2022**).

“_Mobile Homies _is a podcast that I started during quarantine just so I could stay
in touch with my friends,” he continues about the origin of this album. “We had 
some of the most in-depth and heartfelt discussions that I’ve ever had, either personally
or professionally, and they just so happen to be both. I thought it would be amazing
if we turned the podcast into an album series since I’ve always wanted to do a project
of nothing but collaborations. The only parameters were to have fun vibing with 
each other.”

For this radically collaborative release, Lyrics Born brought in a staggering number
of musicians and producers. Working with ten different producers on twelve tracks
was not only a completely new experience in the studio but also a social project
that brought new energy and spirit to each track. “I think that this concept transcends
music and entertainment,” explains LB. “And I hope people willingly embrace collaboration
in their lives far more than before.  

Just some of the collaborators on the record include **Cutso, Lateef the Truthspeaker,
Con Brio, Galactic, Shing02, **and** Blackalicious **(full features list below).“
Having a song like ‘**My City**’ with Blackalicious is especially important because
we all miss The Gift of Gab so much,” says Lyrics Born, reflecting on the beloved
emcee’s recent passing. “We recorded the song while he was still with us, and it’s
unfortunate he’s not here to see it be released. That song is particularly special
for me.”

Lyrics Born also had a chance to reconnect with the crew of **Hello Peril**, a hip-
hop band from the Netflix film **_Always Be My Maybe _**in which he played a band
member alongside **Randall Park**. “It was also awesome working with **Sitcom Dad**(
a.k.a. Randall Park) and **Dan the Automator **again on ‘**This Song’s Delicious**’
since I hadn’t worked with either of them since the film. That was a lot of fun.
All we do is get in a room and laugh together and see what crazy idea translates
the best.”  

Last year Lyrics Born joined forces with musician **DJ Cutso **for the incendiary
and provocative single “**ANTI**.” Called “cathartic and visceral” by **San Francisco
Chronicle **and “a rallying call for the community” by **_NBC-TV_**, “ANTI” was 
incendiary as well as reactionary. “I was called Chink, Gook, Jap, Nip, Slant-Eye,
Fob, Chinaman, Immigrant, every day from age three until about 20… and then it went
to maybe every other day,” confesses LB about his experiences with anti-Asian hate.
Instead of standing silently while this discrimination and, in many cases, violence
continues, highlighing both his and Cutso (who is Filipino American) experiences
and calling for reform, all proceeds raised from the sale of the single are being
donated to Stop AAPI Hate ([https://stopaapihate.org/](https://stopaapihate.org/)),
the national coalition addressing anti-Asian racism across the U.S.

As the first Asian-American solo rapper to perform at Lollapalooza and Coachella
and to release a greatest hits record, Lyrics Born has broken through countless 
barriers to cement his storied and illustrious career. In addition to establishing
himself among the upper echelon of indie Hip Hop artists, LB has expanded his empire
into film, including roles in **Boots Riley**’s critically-acclaimed **_Sorry To
Bother You _**and the aforementioned Netflix film _Always Be My Maybe _starring 
comedian Ali Wong, Randall Park, and Keanu Reeves.

**_Mobile Homies Season 1 _**is out **April 15, 2022**.
