“Too much Soul. Too much Pain. Too much Faith.”
This words ring loud & clear on Lyax’s “War (Change)” as his bars slice into a smooth 80’s sample... We left this one on repeat during the interview. Alexander Tillery is a young rebel stirring up noise across the West Coast with an eccentric flow. @lyaxraps on Insta.
- What’s good Lyax? First thing’s first...Where did the name come from? Tell us a lil bit about yourself.
Lyax derives from Alex (Alexander to be specific). I spelled it that way because there was another ‘lex‘ and I didn’t want no confusion. I’m from Mississippi by the ways of California.
- Who was your biggest influence [music-wise] growing up?
My Influences as a jit were Busta Rhymes, Lupe Fiasco, Missy Elliot, Nelly, and Ludacris....Scarface is King lol..
- I noticed you have a raw, backpack vibe similar to Mr. Kick Push🎒 what type of beats catch your ear? Walk me through your selection process.
Anything with a groove if I can dance or smoke to it it’s a go. Majority of my beats come from YouTube lol but the beats these guys make are some of the dopest beats I’ve heard in while.
- What insipires you? What keeps you going?
Family. And being from Mississippi. That’s what [really] inspires me.
- I see you are growing a Buzz around Seattle & Texas, what do you have planned next for us??
Oh shit... Texas aye that’s wassup. Next is more music (loosies to be specific) from this jaded ep.. Not sure on the date to be exact...just wait 😈
Lyax plays a few more unreleased tracks and an upcoming collab wit Sir Nicolas. We notice something; behind the snares and bass, a story is being told. All of his lyrics paint a picture into his life and make his songs more relatable. He gives the backpack feel of Lupe mixed with a Southern Krit type of swagger.. Why haven’t you followed @lyaxraps yet?? shame on you.
