About the Lyrical Embassy

“Lyrics were once recited in open courtyards for Royal Families to do everything from comprehending the words of God, to learning the daily news. In time, such recitations were brought forth on parchment paper and unrolled by different family groups with anticipation of the news to come. We speculate that this practice helped promote the skill of reading, writing, and language comprehension. It also enforced the idea that words have power and that language and lyrics often serves as the glue used to build community. Such practices developed easily into the role of Ambassadorship with a constant reminder that one must never underestimate the role of diplomacy.

Today, however such a craft has lost sight of land. Many of our modern contemporaries find themselves cursing like drunken sailors in the abyss of the middle of the ocean, helpless and hopeful that if they cannot find land safely, may we still find them strong and courageous, and worthy of note. Music videos put such artists on the faces of dollar bills, records, and posters to be received by all the worlds communities. In the 1990's with America's Strong Dollar policy and exporting power, this pirate music found its way into the hearts and minds of the world's families. Synonymously, pirating of the music became rampant here in America and the corporations that commodified this craft without social responsibility received lessons in lyrical karma…” An excerpt from the Book of the Lyrical Ambassadors.
