SOLO has three albums under his belt - The Awakening, SOLO 3.0 and Reaching Higher, and has collaborated with NOLA talent like Dappa, Cracktracks and Nadiyah Skyy. Lyriqs has opened onstage for Raekwon, Mickey Factz, Tyga, Stalley, Mac Miller, and the duo recently opened for the Wu-Ta ng Clan. The album track “Wild West” features 2011 NOLA HipHop Award Album Of The Year winnerLyrikill, who says “this Solo & Lyriqs album is the heat rock. One of the best together projects I’ve heard in a minute.” Of the project, SOLO says “Knowing I have friends as talented as Lyriqs and Pro Prospek, I had to record #TheGrind album. Even if I didn’t have enough time or money, I was going to find a way to make it happen.”

Los – The Crown Aint Safe : Mixtape

What up Vcrack, sorry i Left you with out some dope tracks to thumb through. I have been going through alot personal changes new gig with higher responsibilities, like a corporate gig , like 50 hours minimum type set up. I cant complain its a blessing since the birth of my baby girl Jordyn. 2011 was my year new crib, kid and gig im thankful and with that I put vcrack on the back burner for a min. HipHop and Rnb was my first love, but know I have two other women to take care of and it feels as if i was torn between the family and the music, my childhood and my manhood. Starting to view music very differently, music is entertainment but Im started to stray away from the nonsense that floods the airwaves. If its about that silly shit most likely im not posting it to the site. Lets go again for 2012. Im motivated again , and as always I do it for the love of music not the money.
