Lyrical Chris aka Hip Hop’s Grandchild Is Redefining Hip Hop with Depth and Discipline

Southern California has long been a breeding ground for game-changing hip hop artists, and Lyrical Chris is quickly becoming one of those intriguing names to watch. The rapper, writer, and creator behind the emerging genre known as 5D Rap is carving out his own lane, blending lyrical substance with a commitment to emotional and spiritual elevation.

Raised in Georgia but deeply influenced by the West Coast’s laid-back rhythms, Lyrical Chris’s musical journey started in classrooms and lunch tables, where freestyle sessions often served as his foundation. But what began as a casual creative outlet has since developed into a life’s mission. With each release, Chris brings his listeners into a more refined, purposeful space, a far cry from the empty flash often associated with mainstream rap.

In 2021, Lyrical Chris dropped “Already Know,” marking his official entrance into the professional music world. The track was a success, and it gave him a clear sense of direction. Along the way, Chris began to question not just what he was rapping about, but why he was doing it in the first place. That period of reflection led to the creation of his self-proclaimed genre, 5D Rap.

At its core, 5D Rap is a genre built around ten key principles. Lyrical Chris does not use profanity, fear-based content, or promote any toxicity or beef in his music. The genre is structured to protect the intention behind the music, encouraging artists to dig deeper into truth, vulnerability, and transformation. Chris doesn’t claim to be perfect, but he’s chosen to hold himself and his art to a higher standard.

Now, with the release of his latest single “Mind of the Grandchild”, Lyrical Chris is offering listeners a glimpse into the next phase of his journey. The single is the first “paragraph” of Rough Draft, a five-album concept project that Chris describes as the world’s first musical essay. Each track will function as a sentence, and each album, a new dimension of growth.

While still early in its rollout, “Mind of the Grandchild” has already found its way into playlists across the country, and the track is being featured in more than 4,000 fitness centers. Lyrical Chris has also landed on the Billboard charts and cracked iTunes’ Top 20, milestones that reflect the impact of a message rooted in authenticity.

But numbers aren’t truly what drive him. Chris is building something that transcends charts and wants to leave a legacy of mindful music, created with intention and delivered with care. For those craving something deeper, Lyrical Chris may be exactly what hip hop’s been missing. Listen to “Mind of the Grandchild” out now, and be sure to stay up to date with Chris as he continues to roll out his “Rough Draft” project.
