About Me

NOT FEAR THE LYRICIST OR FEER THE LYRICST OR PHEER THE LYRICIST IT'S PHEAR THE LYRICIST aka Phear the Profit aka We dont have a name aka Phear himself aka ILL Smith(smh) is a young aspiring MC/Spoken Word artist from Manassas, Virginia. He has been making music since the age of 16 and is actively involved in politics. He has been heavily influenced by hip hop of the early and late 90's. He has appeared on several mixtapes. Never one to stray outside of his "inner circle," he is slowly making moves and showing progress as an artist. Heavily inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson this talented mc incorporates wordplay often missed by the untrained ear. He has a voice and flow all his own. This rapper is also one half of hip hop supergroup 3rd person. 3rd Person consists of Afekz(the producer) and Phear the Lyricist(the mc). As a member of 3rd person he hopes to bring a new sound to hip hop. 3rd person serves as an outlet for the artist to really capture the essence of hip hop over soulful beats. 3rd Person's debut album, aptly titled "Different Perspectives," is still in the works. Phear the Lyricist is also a member of The Logistics, with critically acclaimed producers Abstract Minds. When can we see a full album from Phear the Lyricist? Only time will tell.For booking information email:[email protected]
