Although I don’t love that YOLO phrase, Lysick’s debut project, YOLO is definitely worth checking out. Watch the video for the title track from his free album above. The music video has over 230,000 views in less then a month, don’t sleep on the Montreal-based emcee Lysick. Reese Jones handles production on this joint and samples George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” for the collaboration between Lysick and Krystale. Read what Lysick had to say about his debut project below and listen/download the full album here. Enjoy!
YOLO (You Only Love Once) marks Lysick‘s debut into the rap game. While Drake and Rick Ross prepare their own version (You Only Live Once), Lysick took his own stance at the acronym. From the experience of others and his own, he quickly made a statement that fits the acronym, and realized that many only love once. Originally scheduled to be a mixtape, the free album draws inspiration from the lyricist‘s past relationships or simply from the topic of love itself. Don’t let the title fool you, there is nothing cheesy about this body of work; Many will be surprised or shocked at the outcome and the twist the album takes. It is not an ordinary, common, or regular journey through love. What could it be? Only one way to find out. Lysick’s YOLO (You Only Love Once) is now out, Happy Valentine’s Day.
