Detroit's Very Own:: Chavis Chandler Breath of Fresh Air II [12.18.11]

Chavis Chandler of Verbal vomit Entertainment has released his third solo project and is currently working on his Album Tokyo Dreams set to drop this time next year. Chavis is no stranger to Lyrics & Couture and is one of the many Michigan artists who we willingly support here at L&C. Breath of Fresh Air II is the sequel to Breath of Fresh Air  (better known as #BOFAII & #BOFA on Twitter) but brings a totally different sound and a transformed Chavis. I advise you to listen to the first tape and then enjoy the second. BOFAII includes features from other artists featured here, Danny Brown, Richy Marciano, Nolan the Ninja, Everyday Jay, and many more.

Detroit's Very Own: Helios Hussain "The Melodies of Mayhem" #MOM [9.7.11]

i`ve been waiting for this to drop. Helios Hussain brings Lyrics & Couture the Melodies of Mayhem; more like an album, complete with substance (something we haven`t seen from a lot of the more 'popular' local MI artists lately) portrayed in skits, interludes, outros, features, and ill production (done by the artist himself) that further compliment the theme. I won`t say too much, the track listing explains the general theme of the tape, quite the expression I might add. I am impressed. Enjoy.
