In an exclusive interview recently conducted with 411 Music, Lyrics Born clarifies that this is a lifelong pursuit. "I think from a very early age, I think I knew I always wanted to be some sort of artist or some sort of performer. It wasn't until I first heard Hip-Hop that I knew what type of artist or what type of performer I wanted to be. I think, once I heard it, I got into it. And then Hip-Hop, in turn, got me into all these other kinds of music."
