NEW YORK (Lyrics Born PR) Known for his one of a kind, growling flow and boundless funk, Lyrics Born is back with more fire for your speaker box with Same !@#$ Different Day, a loose remix album of his critically acclaimed solo debut Later That Day�. The album is due out on Quannum on April 26, 2005. With 5 new songs, and 8 remix tracks that are similar to the originals only in name, Same !@#$ Different Day is a fresh collection of Lyrics Born's signature blend of funk, R&B, rock, reggae and soul that once again eschews any staid notions of what hip hop is all about.

Said Lyrics Born, "I wrote and produced the majority of the material on Later That Day�, but I've always thought of myself as an artist who not only can produce, but can also be produced. With Same !@#$, Different Day, I wanted to link up with outside producers and artists I admire, who could help me get beyond my own limitations. Most of the 'remix' tracks have entirely new lyrics, music, or both, and feature a slew of guest artists that weren't present on the originals."

One cannot speak of Lyrics Born and his collaborations without mentioning his counterpart Joyo Velarde. Her floating operatic vocals coupled with LB's grave baritone create a unique synergy that colors the entire record. "I Can't Wait For Your Love" is a soulful duet with Joyo Velarde featuring the signature production of Chief Xcel of Blackalicious. Velarde also shines in melodic vocal exchanges with LB on the hauntingly sensual "Over You," brilliantly produced by DJ Shadow. The fierce yet smooth "I'm Just Raw" was produced by Grammy nominated Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School and Deltron 3030), whose working relationship with Lyrics Born extends back to LB's first single, which was recorded in Dan's mother's basement. For the traditionalists, LB brings together old school and new school on "Pack Up Remix," featuring the legendary KRS-One and Evidence (Dilated Peoples). "The Last Trumpet" with Lateef the Truth Speaker is peppered with afro-beat, Brazilian drums and intense scratches by DJ Shadow. Same !@#$ Different Day also features a remix of the hit single "Callin' Out," featuring the Bay Area's Casual (Hieroglyphics) and E-40. The album is rounded out with free-wheeling good times courtesy of Morcheeba, as well as infectious beats by Young Einstien/Ugly Duckling, Jumbo the Garbageman/Lifesavas, Cut Chemist/Jurassic 5 and DJ D Sharp.

Lyrics Born will embark on a North American tour in early 2005. The trek kicks off with a special Quannum MCs show in San Francisco on Thursday, February 24th. Lyrics Born will be previewing material from Same !@#$ Different Day, in addition to cuts from Later That Day� and Latyrx: The Album. His live show never fails to engage the crowd, overflowing with fast, energetic rhymes, commanding back up vocals and DJ D Sharp's razor-sharp grooves.

Composer/ Producer/ MC Lyrics Born (aka Tom Shimura) founded the laudable Northern California hip-hop collective Solesides (now Quannum Projects) in 1992, along with DJ Shadow and Blackalicious. In 2003, he firmly established his name as one of the most versatile MCs around with the groundbreaking solo debut Later That Day�, which seamlessly blends styles and defies categorization. Lyrics Born currently is enjoying major success with the single "Callin Out," which has been dominating commercial alternative radio in the Bay Area, and the head-nodding bliss is spreading to stations across the country. The song is featured in a Diet Coke television ad with Adrien Brody and is being used in the new Motorola commercial in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Lyrics Born's music also has been featured in the major motion pictures Collateral and Abandon.
