If you haven’t tapped in with Lyrical Chris yet, now is the time. The rising artist who’s been turning heads for his genre-breaking concept of 5D Rap just released his newest single, “Mind of the Grandchild,” and it’s everything hip-hop didn’t know it needed.
Coming out of the gate with a fresh vision, Lyrical Chris positions himself as “Hip Hop’s Grandchild” which is a nod to both the culture’s foundation and its future. But make no mistake, this isn’t throwback rap. With “Mind of the Grandchild,” Chris blends nostalgic storytelling with forward-thinking creativity. The beat gives West Coast vibes while the flow gives New York roots, and the content? Pure originality.
The single plays like a short film in audio form, and the track is now accompanied by a music video. It walks listeners through a story set in Los Angeles, told straight from Chris’s perspective. “Mind of the Grandchild” is very detailed, immersive, and features a high level of wordplay. But what really stands out is the twist at the end, one that flips the entire narrative on its head. You will have to listen to it through to experience for yourself, as it’s rare that a hip-hop track is structured this thoughtfully and executed this cleanly.
“Mind of the Grandchild” also serves as a teaser for his upcoming concept project titled Rough Draft, which Lyrical Chris plans to be a groundbreaking musical essay made up of five albums, or “paragraphs,” where the songs act as sentences. This kind of format has never been done before, and it fits perfectly with Lyrical Chris’ mission to push boundaries while lifting vibrations.
The unique genre that Chris classifies himself in, 5D Rap, is all about consciousness. It’s clean, non-materialistic, non-religious (but spiritual), and always uplifting. He mentioned there are ten self-imposed rules that he follows in every song, including no explicit lyrics, no dissing, no toxic bars, and no fear-based messaging. It’s hip-hop that respects the culture while raising the bar.
With chart placements on Billboard and iTunes already under his belt, plus consistent gym rotation across 4,000+ locations in the U.S., Lyrical Chris is proving that you don’t have to compromise to make an impact.
Watch the music video for “Mind of the Grandchild” out now and get a taste of what hip-hop sounds like when it evolves with intention.
