The multi-talented artist Lry’k (insta: not_lyrk) shares laugh with IDB host Swisha Pearl (@cuff_yobic)

We said 2018 would be packed with incredibly talented artists and the start of the new year has us really hopeful for what is in store. This week, we welcomed local music talent Lyr’k to the basement on the West Side and she left quite an impression on our team.

Lyr’k chatted with us about how kicking back with her family helped her get started in music. She also details what type of woman one needs to be to successful in the Chicago music scene and what her dream collaborations would be if she had the opportunity.

ABOUT IN DA BASEMENT

Each week, the good people at Culture will bring Chicago’s hottest up-and-coming musical prospects to the forefront. In tandem with Clutch Productions and A.W.O.L Films, our aim is to provide a platform for artists to shine.

The show consists of a light, conversational interview in which we delve into the origins of the artist, their views on the city and anything from the latest social media trends to their favorite Bulls player.

The latter half features a freestyle performance where show host Swisha Pearl joins the guest in “blessing the basement.”

Join us as we discover the best of Chicago’s thriving music scene. Get an intimate view of the artists you’ll soon see blow up on social media as well as a rare opportunity to catch a special freestyle.
