According to a press release from Reybee Inc., the publicity firm Lyrics Born works with, the self-proclaimed “funkiest rapper alive” considers this album a new take on himself and his music.
“This is me at my most imaginative, freakiest, and yet still most grounded and introspective,” he said. “I feel like a new man. I’m healthier physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.”
According to the release, “Vision Board” takes on different tones, textures and genres and shows the rapper writing in “a way he’s never written before.”
“This is about as psychedelic as I’ve ever been,” Lyrics Born said. “I’m so proud of this album. I’m in a different space. The world is in a different space, and I wanted to celebrate that, loosen up and really create some imagery and share some emotion that I never have.”
The show will take place from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on Oct. 16 at The Ruins, with the doors opening at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance and can be purchased at www.tickettomato.com/event/7661. Tickets will be $40 at the door, as available.
The Ruins is located at 13 Railroad St. in Hood River.
