ABOUT
Lyrical Opposition operates as both an artist collective and nonprofit organization that discovers and develops lyrical artists who spread messages of hope that inspire and empower communities towards social change.
We serve the lyrical community with three areas of cultivation: artist development, personal development, and professional development. We believe synergy between all three are vital towards social and systemic change. Through artist discovery and development, artists are taken to the next level with the resources needed to thrive as a professional artist and educator.
Quotes That Matter
“Where is the sense of justice?”
“The more we speak, the more pressure and attention is brought to the situation around the globe”
“Every four years there’s an opportunity to right the ship”
“Highlighting the things that are going on all around us without being lost in a vacuum, trapped in our own little silos”
“Do not ignore the fact that as much as you may appreciate it, you could do something about it”
“Sense of independence is built upon that sense of brotherhood or understanding of the world within a given context”
“Veering toward comfort can disarm you from your purpose”
“If you give somebody the platform to speak about themselves, they will tell you everything you need to know”
“When we notice the humanity and the importance of affirming the humanity of other people regardless of their position, that’s where true relationships happen”
“Just because you have one thing that they don’t have, that doesn’t mean they cannot add to the situation in their own particular kind of way”
“In today’s society, we become very siloed and vacuumed in our own beliefs and our own kind of ways of thinking; we kind of lose sight of our framily and what our community looks like”
“Whenever You Feel Stuck, Get Creative”
“Either I’m going to choose my parameters and how I want to exist that space and define it as my space, not the space for black people, but my space for me”
“As soon as we hear from the people who we’ve impacted, we dismiss them, we minimize their stories, we take away any validation and understanding”
