Lyrics Born

Until his "Callin' Out" track was used on a Coca-Cola commercial, Bay Area MC Lyrics Born's debut Later That Daywas one of the most slept-on albums in recent years. Same Shit, Different Day, a remix disc meant to tide fans over until the next opus, isn't as polished. But there are plenty of fun tracks -- including a great Yay Area reworking of "Callin' Out" featuring E-40 and Lyrics Born -- to make it an overdue introduction to those unfamiliar with Lyrics Born's gregarious charms.
