Latyrx
Today's OKP premiere comes from alternative hip-hop duo Latyrx, the duo composed of rappers/producers Lateef the Truth Speaker and Lyrics Born. The Bay Area based duo will be releasing their long awaited sophomore LP on November 5th, the aptly titled, The Second Album (follow up to 1997's The Album). The LP is filled with 13 new tracks with features from Zion, Forrest Day, Busdriver, 1-O.A.K., Joyo Velarde, The Gift of Gab, Corey Glover, and more. Today, we give you the premiere of track #6, "Close Your Eyes" featuring Busdriver.
