With a notebook full of lyrics, inexhaustible lung capacity and heart to match, Stryfe is the quintessential Rapper. As his name claims, he is an artist that is the product of conflicting and contrasting environments. A son of the South raised in Detroit and a highly educated man struggling to overcome poverty and crime. He is an artist who embraces his past while expressing cleverness and wit that reveal his optimism for the future. From his debut solo Great Expectations to City of God to The Last Resorts, Styfe’s music is a study in the interplay between intricate and ironic wordplay and a musicality that reflects the hopes and frustrations of a man striving to survive and succeed in a world full of strife.

Lyrics From the song “Good Morning Heartache” on Marc Byrd’s The Calling
My life is in a choke hold, Gasping for air, I can’t breathe,
Wit my cold soul, trapped in the snare, And bass beat.
Experience is only known as a memory of pain,
Mistakes, you never learned from, and did ‘em again.
My vertebrae feeling the strain and the stress of the weight carryin,
From situations you make it through, Thinkin you building character.
I got a full cast, Not to act, but to stabilize,
Greater minds have a greater time tryin to make it by.
Maybe the ache in my mind is related to vagrant vibes,
Takin the hate to my heart and revolving the pain inside?
Possible. And every time I’m looking past these obstacles,
One side is clear, the other is fuzzy, I wear a monocle.
Love is evol backwards, some women will get involved with you,
Just to trip and attack you, make every visit conjugal.
Not to get off of topic dude, simply to slip it in,
Hangover, Good Morning Heartache, you did it again.
Damn…
