Lyrical Chris brings a new kind of energy to hip hop, one rooted in clarity, higher thought, and emotional awareness. With the release of “Mind of the Grandchild,” he sets the tone for what he calls 5D Rap, a genre guided by ten spiritual and ethical principles that reshape what it means to be a rapper in today’s landscape.
This single is the foundation for a much bigger creative project. And for Lyrical Chris, every line, rule, and verse has purpose.
The Path to 5D Rap
Born and raised in Southern Georgia, Lyrical Chris has always had a natural relationship with rhythm and rhyme. Freestyling during lunch, rapping with friends, and sharpening his pen in every spare moment, he developed a lyrical style that favored insight over flash. But in 2021, after releasing his debut single “Already Know,” things began to shift. He started to look at music through a spiritual lens, not just for entertainment, but for elevation.
That’s when 5D Rap was born. This self-created genre kind of acts like a code of ethics for Lyrical Chris’ music as he follows core principles promoting no fear, profanity, beef, or toxicity, just authentic, grounded self-expression.
New Single, New Standards
“Mind of the Grandchild” takes listeners into the early stages of Chris’s broader vision of a five-album series called Rough Draft, which he describes as the world’s first musical essay. Each “paragraph” represents a new chapter in his artistic and personal evolution, and every track functions as a complete sentence in that story.
Produced with a chill West Coast vibe, “Mind of the Grandchild” showcases Chris’s signature clarity in delivery and content. The lyrics are introspective, even vulnerable at times, and the twist at the end leaves listeners with questions that demand more than a second listen.
Building a Movement Beyond the Charts
Although “Mind of the Grandchild” is a conceptual release, it’s already catching real-world momentum. Lyrical Chris has earned Billboard placements, landed on iTunes charts, and secured rotation in more than 4,000 gyms across the U.S. Still, for him, numbers are just a reflection, not the end goal. He strives to make music that’s timeless, healing, and thought-provoking, the kind of rap you don’t just nod to, but grow from.
What’s Next?
Lyrical Chris is carving out space for a different kind of hip hop. If you’ve been craving something meaningful, rooted in purpose, and still sonically rich, “Mind of the Grandchild” might be the track that re-centers your playlist.
