It’s hard to say if it’s his California style or his 17 years in the game, but one thing we can say for sure is that Reap is a force to be reckoned with. He thrives on stage and his genuine love for the music and passion for delivering messages is seen clearly when everyone from Hip-Hop heads to skaters and even steppers are vibing to his music. His lyrics convey messages from experiences both in the west coast and here in Chicago. Although he works with various producers worldwide, he maintains his unique style when choosing which beats to lay his lyrics over. Even though his background is heavily influenced by both his church beginnings as well as the Latin music he grew up with, Reap says, “Chicago is what kind of made me musically.” Even though he stays busy with his other work as both photographer and director/videographer for R. Raven Photography and Video he is avidly working on himself to reach his full potential as a Hip Hop artist. Working jwith GoodLife is allowing him to do just that. As he says, with the help of his new team, “I’ve been able to just be an artist now.” The combination of his unmistakable talent and amazing support system is sure to get him far. His music is listened to internationally and as he receives praises for what he’s doing from people he’s never met, his parents make sure to keep him going here at home. “I wouldn’t have continued to do music if it weren’t for my parents. Not a lot of people have that.” And so his journey continues, with endless stories and more than enough people willing to listen.

Brooklyn artist Lyrivelli glides through airy beats with a venomous bite and slick melodies. Racking up hundreds of thousands of streams and views independently, he strikes at the most unexpected moments on a series of 2020 singles and his project “Authentic”.

Long before this moment, hip-hop called to him. He evolved from playing drums at his local church to recording himself out of his bedroom at only 12 years old. Launching the Lyrivelli brand, he perfected his word play by taking any opportunity to freestyle either in the lunchroom, on the block, or online.

After showing out on tracks like Maino’s “Let Me Be Great” and “Motivation” he incited buzz through New York City which caught the ears of many right out of the gate. 
J Stone’s “Soul Search”  quickly surpassed 200 thousand views in just 3 weeks and continues to be one of his best performing songs. Now, he ignites his own movement with his latest string of releases including, “Static”, “Anti-Dote” and the undeniable ear worm. “2 The Limit”

Lyrivelli delivers a sound as raw as his hometown and has a talent that has become increasingly hard to deny. With his awaited debut project, "No Limit", on the way, 2021 is undoubtedly his.
