LQL

Welcome to the tell-it-like-it-is lyricist world of LQL, a bilingual 19-year-old rapper and producer from China, aspiring to leave a mark on the mental with his witty, conscious lyricsim. Influenced by legends like Tupac, Biggie, Kanye, Eminem, Nas, and Nujabes, LQL isn't just following footsteps—he’s cutting his own path, where introspective lyricism meets daring, boundary-transcending production. He has performed in more than 100 occasions in venues big and small, including once in an 1000-person concert organized by Modern Sky, one of the biggest record labels in China.

His track Body Song For Mom is proof of that: a birthday gift to his mother, crafted entirely from sounds of his own body, a sonic ode to the very life she gave him. It's raw. It's personal. It's unprecedented.

His most recent tracks include "Graduation". It channels the spirit of Kanye’s 2007 album, blending boom bap, electronica, and jazz to capture the anxious buzz of a high school grad staring into the unknown. How about his newest release last November - "Wanna Know What It's Like"? An experimental leap into rapping in 15/8 time signature, guaranteed to flip the script once again. A Rihanna-Eminem esque collab with Beatrice Staffoni in January 2025? Shows he can be both weird - and mainstream.

He is, as his song "Best Times of Life" declares, “Still undefinable. Still no finances. Still not confined to ropes. Still handed chances.”
