The Lyricist Lounge was birthed as a series of open mic events hosted in a small studio apartment in the Lower East Side of New York City. Founded in 1991 by Hip Hop aficionados Danny Castro and Anthony Marshall, the duo dreamt of creating a space for raw talent and unsigned hype throughout the five boroughs of the city and beyond. This dream became a reality and resulted in three full-length albums ("Lyricist Lounge Vol.1", "Lyricist Lounge Vol. 2 and "Underground Airplay"), seven domestic tours, two seasons of the MTV sketch comedy series "The Lyricist Lounge Show", two DVD releases and countless showcases.
Lyricist Lounge has been the springboard for several of today’s biggest Hip Hop stars. Past Lyricist Lounge alumni artists include Mos Def, Eminem, Talib Kweli, Foxy Brown, Sean "Diddy" Combs and The Notorious B.I.G.. Lyricist Lounge looks to continue providing support for new talent in often overlooked communities.
