About Me


What's good Myspace. Some of y'all already know me from the Sinistah Circle page, but I figured I'd make a personal joint to put some more material out there. I'ma have Noids take over the SC page and just build with y'all thru here.For those of you who don't know me, I'm an emcee in the group Sinistah Circle. I'm 27 years old and am a proud father of 2 beautiful children. I work a 9 to 5 in the city and live out in Queens. If you like the music you hear or if for any reason you just wanna get at me, hit up the inbox and we can build. I love writing, performing and recording music but I will not hit up your page with useless html promoting myself. Unless I know you personally, I keep my promotion on my page so don't be afraid to add me.

LEX - Forward Movement (2007)
Lexicon - The Vague Clarity Mix (2005)
"Lex's sound is traditional New York hip hop at it's best. He oozes the rough and rugged NY culture. . One thing that orginally grabbed my attention when I first heard him was his voice. Like Guru said "It's mostly tha voice" and Lex's voice is something that reaches and and grabs the listeners attention. It's gruff and ruff, but his flow and delivery smooths things out."
-Bombfirst.com
"Lexicon choses the right beats to rhyme too and he doesn't only rhyme to it, he expreses a lot of emotion in his inspiring lyrics from story telling to facing and overcoming obstacles from the music industry to daily life. . . Lexicon definitely has talent and "The Vague Clarity" is very solid and shouldn't be slept on. All we need now is for Lexicon to drop an album, that would be something to look forward to."
- MumblesHipHop.com
"In the rap game, having that distinct indiscriminate vocal timbre that stands out amongst a sea of rappers, is almost as important as what beats you rock or what you rap about. Hoping to raise above the sea of average voices, Lexicon provides The Vague Clarity Mix. . . this is a dope release by an MC who will do nothing but get better. The Vague Clarity Mix is well worth the pick up, there are many powerful tracks mixed with Lexicons trademark gruff phonetic intonation. So definitely cop that."
-ShotgunReviews.com
". .hes an emcee exhibitionist: showing off both his private and public thoughts, straddling the line between party music and journal entries. . . Lexicon is quick to throw down for New York, in a time where many critics are readily available to comment on their disappointment with the shrinking influence and creativity of the scene where hip hop was born. Luckily, he doesnt go down the oft-travelled path of us vs. them; spreading love for the west coast like freshly churned butter. . . Another factor at work that brings the best out of this lion-hearted MC is his production team. With the resident Sinistah Circle beatmakers E-Noids and Ra Ra Aguilar putting in nine tracks, there is definitive vibe to the entire disc."
-Rapsearch.com
". . his song "Dedication," which uses Cool & Dre's Hate It or Love It beat, is better than the original song or anybody else I've heard spit over that beat."
-Spitkickers.com
""Beautiful" is one of my favorite songs of the year. It reminds me alot of the Masta Ace track by the same name, but thats not a bad thing at all. "Hungry" is dark track but with real issues, which is why I like it so much. Lex comes off as a New York version of Supastition on this, airing out his trials and tribulations of life and trying to make it in the music biz."
-WakeYourDaughterUp Blog
"The Music is reminiscient to me of a combination of 92-96 Hip Hop with a good splash of 2002-2005 mixture. It has a very nice past and present feel. Music that can, should and will be appreciated by a base age range of 15-40 years old. ."
-Jarrel Jackson, ASCAP
