Sefiratastic, indeed!

Hey, a capella-only people! Check this out, from Lyrics Born (there is some not-a capella stuff here, but it's all clearly labeled). Below is a copy/paste of their email newsletter.

L-Beezies,

106 KMEL in San Francisco has been playing "Differences" pretty regularly, but they have yet to add it to the rotation. That's where y'all come in!

We need ALL the L-Beezies out there to call in and email KMEL to request "Differences".

(800) 955-KMEL

kmelequest@gmail.com

Make as many requests per day as you can. Even if you're not in the Bay Area you can still participate. If you don't want to call, make sure you email your request.

Together we can get LB on major rotation on KMEL. Let's do it up, do it big!!!

Here's a special message to all of y'all from LB himself:

The latest LBTV clips are right here:

4.22.08 was the date of release for the new record from Lyrics Born, "Everywhere At Once". This is the fourth in a series of exclusive video clips showing a day in the life of Lyrics Born -- this being the day his new album dropped.
The day continued as LB hit Rasputin Music in Berkeley, CA for an exclusive in-store performance and album signing.

We've got somethin' very special for all of the L-Beezies; a capella versions of the current LB singles, "I Like It, I Love It", "Hott 2 Deff", "Differences" and "Top Shelf". LB wanted to share these with y'all as a thank you for everything.

Feel free to use these vocals-only tracks to make your own remixes. If you think you've got a hot mix go ahead and send it in and who knows -- maybe LB will throw your mix on his next Variety Show mixtape.

This month LB got the honor of being NPR's artist of the day on May 16th with "I Like It, I Love It".

"...at a time when too much rap feels grim and cumbersome, the throwback vibe of "I Like It, I Love It" speaks to simple, often distant pleasures — a moment when hip-hop, pop, R&B, and a sing-along hook rolled together as one."

The song continues to get international exposure on radio and the web with no signs of slowing down. Look for a video of the song coming very soon directed by Neon (the same people who have done videos for Common, Kanye West and others).

As LB himself would say, "...they can't stop us!"
