House of Lies

House
of Lies Video Premiere Link

Legendary emcee and literal lyrical
professor, Professor Lyrical (AKA Dr. Peter Michael Plourde),
returns with a timely and groundbreaking Hip Hop single and video entitled House of Lies
offering sharp social commentary on President Trump while
disguised as a relationship break-up letter revealed in a surprise
twist-ending.

“As
one of the most creative and thought provoking songs of the year, it was
crucial that its video be equally as compelling—and cinematographer Josiah
Mendoza did not disappoint.”

“This
record is not what it appears to be and has to be heard multiple times after
witnessing the amazing imagery of the video and realizing you didn’t hear what
you first thought.”

“House
of Lies is an impressive hip hop ballad with a contagious
hook which promises to have you replaying it over again to capture
the double entendre meaning - no spoiler.”

So you rap?

OK, so do about 400 million others. So what makes you different? Perhaps you have a unique story, a great voice, you are really creative, people just seem to like you, or you are just all around good at all the aspects of emceeing. If not, this page is designed to help you master the craft.

Here is my disclaimer before we begin: You will not be good at emceeing, unless you are dedicated to the craft! This means you must practice, and constantly think like an emcee throughout the course of your entire day.

That being said, if you are in it for the long haul you will be surprised at how good you can become; if you truly love the craft the work is easy.

My biggest satisfaction comes from emcees who hear me, or read my lyrics and say they suddenly have the inspiration to go home and work their craft. For me this represents work that payed off well. I have an infinite amount I could write, but only a finite amount that I actually will write. Inspiring others to continue on with this art form allows all of us to ensure that limitless material will in fact be written and well-crafted. Feel free to post your own responses or rhymes at anytime. Or just sneak a look at some of my posted lyrics and thoughts. Please click this link right below my signature to get an idea what my music sounds like, because I rap too!

Thanks,

"Professor" Lyrical

CHECK OUT MY WIFE AND I, ON THIS TRACK CALLED "HOT" PRODUCED BY ROBIE ROWLAND!

Supremely Crafted, By Lyrical

Supremely Crafted, routinely mastered/

Rhyme schemes, conceived in my dreams, my sleep's practice/

24-7 been dedicated to rappin'/

While still finding time in between for multitasking/

University Massachusetts my masters/

Earned the same time making Massachusetts some classics/

Teaching mathematics and university classes/

And music with my students the fusion is fantastic/

But don't confuse it, to battle me, that's a fallacy/

Sun, I put the Earth on the map in this rap galaxy/

My mentality, humble is what I have to be/

Cuz even though I'm known as the best there's 100 after me/

A hunted athlete, dumb to be humming happily/

When half these crappy, happy go lucky rappers are tragedies/

One minute I'm hot and the crowd claps for me/

The second that I'm turning my back, their gonna clap on me/

So don't grab on me, after I walk past at these/

Rap shows, the answer is "no" I am not having it/

It's not happening, don't know what you expect to see/

Typically, you'll find me perfecting vectors and matrices/

Professor Lyrical, my material's basically/

Made to be poetic yet spoken, more motivationally/

So any vacancy, math, music or otherwise/

I'll graph you out my digits like perpendicular number lines

Jesus Shuttlesworth - By Lyrical

Words impeccable, birth verses incredible/
Classical, heavy metal, my genres span several/
Soul is etheral, swing like Duke Ellington,/
Rock like Chuck Berry, My role, very intelligent/
Respect level is tough...and you can tell it is/
Revered by my elders, loved- like close relatives/
Grace the Land with a flow, blow like Elvis did/
Instrument's held lefty, burn em like Jimmi Hendricks did/
My main difference is out of my brains spittin/
With change the game writtens, insane like Blake Griffin/
Plus any distance I drain from highly accurate/
Highly talented, game is Ray Allen-ish/
Well practiced and versed, looking instinctual/
Only cause the work I put in is unthinkable/
So next time when I'm rhyming at some Palladium/
Remember all the time that I've put in the gymnasium/


I pattern my rapping after Ray Allen shooting in practice/
Perhaps I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive creature of habit/
Master the fundamentals, while maximizing my talents/
So even leaving the floor I'll return on my feet balanced/
Reek havoc, on all opposing defenders/
Stone cold killer, so leave me open I'll end this/
Pen verses, most of them open ended/
From answering these questions, like "How do I flow tremendous?"/
Frees are splendid, writtens even more magical/
Catapult myself to success running through battle drills/
Cardiovascular, rapping on the eliptical/
Then hopping on the treadmill after for better breath control/
Many steps ta go, hurdling every obstacle/
So stopping me from reaching the top is just not possible/
I dig deep for the facts - archeological/
Then put em back into my raps as published articles/

LYRiCAL BIOGRAPHY:

"LYRICAL" is a well respected name in the New England Hip Hop scene for multiple reasons. As a Hip Hop artist he has published numerous releases that have topped national college charts, such as "The Focuz Is Back " (2006), and classics like his first single "Butta Messenga" (1997, X-Caliber) or "Salt" (2003, Invasion). As a businessman he has organized scores of shows in Boston, including the heralded "M.I.C. Hip Hop Awards" and many similar type of events. As an accomplished world class MC battler he has won countless battles and has also competed in invite only battles like the New Music Seminar's Battle for World Supremacy in New York City, and the East Coast Zulu Nation Battle in Harlem. But perhaps what really sets Lyrical apart from other award winning, freestyle, battle emcees is the fact he has also been contracted by several colleges to teach over 80 courses in subjects ranging from Hip Hop to Calculus (see below for details).

His duel careers lead to the creation of The College Project (Through the Eyes of Pupils), a 2009 album featuring 25 of Lyrical's students as guest artists, producers, engineers, graphic artists and photographers on the project. A native of Lowell, Lyrical earned a BS in Business Administration (Marketing/Econ.) and was hired to write the business plan for the Lowell High School's Alternative Program where he taught math and business for 6 years before teaching college. He earned his MS in Mathematics from UMass-Lowell while taking his last three courses for his degree at Harvard University's College of Continuing Education after moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Professor" Lyrical is now a full-time Lecturer of Mathematics at Northeastern University teaching Boston freshman in The College of Professional Studies in an innovative program known as Foundation Year. Today he is one of the more sought after speakers on topics ranging from Hip Hop culture to higher education.

Lyrical was a vital member of Mayor Menino’s “Hip Hop Round Table” and several City of Boston Peace Fests, opening for artists like Big Daddy Kane and Rakim along the way. He was featured rapping and teaching on The Discovery Channel's Animal Planet's "Dogs 101", October 3rd, 2009; this popular episode repeats periodically. He has also been on the front page and cover of several newspapers and magazines and has been the subject of many other television segments as well. As a teacher, businessman and artist Lyrical is highly involved in many of the events helping shape the face of Hip Hop culture, urban entertainment, and education in Massachusetts.

LYRICAL IN BROOKLYN AT PUPPETS JAZZ LOUNGE (WITH SYNTAX)

DJ JIMIZZ “Boston’s Best-Kept Secret”

By Lyrical

DJ Jimizz quietly has managed to hold down the longest running Hip Hop radio program in the city. Nestled in the basement of MIT, Jimizz has spun every Saturday night from 10PM till midnight, and has done so for over a decade. Now the Urban Music Director, Jimizz works to keep all the Hip Hop shows at the station laced with the hottest new local and national joints, before they become household names.

Jimizz is a true DJ and throwback to an era long gone by. He MIXES live, does blends, scratches, and hosts the show himself. He answers the phones (though his listeners would argue it is near impossible to get at him during the show), holds down the news, and provides the listeners with releases hitting the shelves, and even picks an “old school joint of the week” to pay tribute to the pioneers. This is more than just a token song, it is a segment of his show that he expands upon every last Saturday of the month for an entire show where he reverses the format playing only old school, with the exception of one “new school joint of the week”.

Jimizz was an intern under DJ Busy Bee who held down the same slot in the early and mid nineties, and also under the legendary PJ Porter who is an institution himself as a certified legendary Boston area DJ playing R&B into the wee hours of Sunday mornings. As Jimizz’s mentor, PJ Porter has been responsible for ushering in a whole new generation of babies who most likely now listen to DJ Jimizz show as well. When Jimizz is not spinning at the station, he is most likely digging for records at some of the other “best-kept secrets” in the city in terms of stores that sell vinyl. He adds to his show with hard to find gems, and is not afraid to mix in classic R&B or other vibe enhancing joints that keep him one step ahead of the rest. A true party setter, he is found at many of the area hot spots and also spins private functions. He earned his bachelors degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston and in addition to all this he simultaneously held the title of Promotions Coordinator for Greater Media for many years.

Jimizz can be heard on WMBR 88.1 FM Saturday nights 10PM till midnight, and over the word wide web at www.wmbr.org .

I AM

I am -Impassioned, soul that’s old fashioned/

Classic- a modern day Johan Sebastian/

Beethovien, flow that’s hand woven in/
With finer strings than you’d find on a violin/

Stradivarius- Master Artesian/
On hand blown glass, my craft is pure genius/

Multivariate flows for all seasons/
Raps get tracked out on graphs that’s Cartesian/

So Thelonius, James Brown & Coltrane/
Improper Bostonian, old school as Soul Train/

Paying homage to-those dudes from ol’ days/
With Hall of Fame status & vocals like the O’Jays/
So harmonious, motion Tag Heurerish/
How every movement is smooth and Luxurious/
Surround sound in my Harmon Kardon/
Speakin the word like Mohammed when he said the Koran/

I am-other worldly, -skills is not from here,

Jimmy Neutron flow- Buzzing for Light Years/

And I don’t fight fare I’m mad resourceful/

But deep down I’m peaceful and real remorseful/

In rap battles- son – I scrap for morsels/

Wanna swim with the sharks?-Bring your fins and dorsals/

Cause if I’m forced to, I’m awfully forceful/

One dose of my flow’s like a blow to your torso/

Even more so than what you think/
I be a beast like the cast in the Monster’s Inc./

Monstrous ink, once I sync my Mont Blanc/
The thoughts that I think launch off in a montage/

Entourage like I’m Mark from Boston/
With my squad on the block gone apartment shopping/

Dropping Common-wealth on the Ave we walking/

But yall ain’t dropping nothing but your “r’s” when you’re talking

Steam by Lyrical

I spit steam, sixteens is pristine/

Crisp, Clean, Comfortable like ripped jeans/

Since 15, my lyrics painted a vivid scene/

Ain't never seen, since the ceilings of Sisteen/

  

An inner feeling, more complex than Byzantines/

Content and a concept, with a strong theme/

Who ya know that can manifest these huge dreams?/

My flow's art, the new name is "Drew" breeze/

  

I'm Mozart, when I rehearse these new schemes/

on loose leaves my techniques is Bruce Lee/

I use speed, with furious fist, Supreme/

With punch lines, that drop-kick, till bruised knees/

Got true game, can maintain the huge lead/

Turn Tom Brady, chew out the crowd if dudes leave/

  

A new team,  make few errors, a new league/

  

emcee forever, in any error I'm Lou Reed/
