Tucson based producer.  Rhythm experimenter. Beat collage specialist.

There often comes along a rare breed of MC who somehow marries raw, unmerciful lyricism, memorable voice and delivery, a distinctive perception of reality, and the self-awareness and honesty of a true poet together into one special, instantly-listenable style. CITRUS is truly an MC of this class. Born out of a momentous collision of pure hip-hop energy and intense personal struggle, Citrus is a lyrical assassin with a Buddhist sensibility. That means he can fuck you up but make you realize after why you probably deserved it. He first made a name for himself coming up with other future LSD members in the legendary Dry River scene of the early Tuc-Rap Renaissance, and has been building towards greatness ever since. A nomadic fellow, Citrus often treks to lands beyond the LSD homestead, currently residing in beautiful/hazy Colorado, as a seeker of personal truths and ambassador for LSD. Maybe this brief intro is the first time you’ve ever heard of Citrus and maybe it isn’t, but rest assured…it certainly will not be the last
