Lyrical Chris Bids Farewell to Parental Advisory with “R.I.P. Parental Advisory”
Lyrical Chris, a rising name in the Hip-Hop scene, has just released a new single, “R.I.P. Parental Advisory,” marking his latest step in carving a distinct lane in the industry. In only three years, Lyrical Chris has solidified his presence, charting on Billboard and landing in the top 20 of iTunes’ Hip-Hop charts. His music, a high-energy mix of influences from trap to R&B, doesn’t just entertain – it elevates. With his brand of “5D Rap,” he delivers clean, non-materialistic, and non-explicit Hip-Hop that’s as thoughtful as it is vibrant, resonating across 4,000 gym playlists nationwide.
“R.I.P. Parental Advisory” is more than a track; it’s a statement. In the track’s accompanying video, Lyrical Chris orchestrates a symbolic funeral for the parental advisory label, a fixture of rap music since 1990. By reimagining the genre without explicit content, he challenges norms and opens Hip-Hop to broader audiences while maintaining lyrical complexity and depth. The music video takes place in a church and cemetery, featuring a casket dressed in the iconic parental advisory label as Chris dons personas of Hip-Hop greats like Jay-Z and Nas, channeling their flows to underscore his message. The video also features characters representing iconic figures, from Aaliyah to Ice Cube, creating a powerful homage to the genre’s history and future.
While his latest single sets the stage for a new era, Lyrical Chris’s upcoming album, Prewrite, promises to push boundaries even further. Touted as the first 5D Rap album, it’s a forward-thinking project that captures the evolution of his sound. With catchy hooks and meaningful lyrics, Prewrite introduces Hip-Hop fans to a style that’s both non-traditional and endlessly inventive.
“R.I.P. Parental Advisory” isn’t just about avoiding explicit language; it’s a creative and defiant move to redefine what Hip-Hop can be. In a genre that has often celebrated brash realism, Lyrical Chris takes a high-vibrational, thought-provoking approach, encouraging listeners to enjoy music that doesn’t sacrifice depth or integrity. With momentum building around his unique approach, Lyrical Chris is steadily making his mark on the Hip-Hop landscape – a shift worth watching, and, for those tuning in, a movement worth hearing.
