B.A.R.S ONLY LIVE — Official Website of Lyric Jones

how It all started…

“Throughout my career as an emcee AND a musician, going to open mics and showcases always felt like I had to choose.
I almost never saw a strictly HIP HOP themed shed or jam session where just RAPPERS can get busy on the mic, and with a LIVE BAND also.
Today’s wave in Hip Hop seems to be all about
“...where can I sign up to perform MY SONG“

Understandably so everyone wants the spotlight.
Emcees / Rappers don’t know how to just vibe organically anymore, especially with a band. Even the cyphers you see online or on TV shows come off real cookie cutter and structured.
Sheds or jam sessions, the musicians often play just jazz or classic R&B joints. - LYRIC JONES”

“With Bars Only Live I wanted to create a live band platform for JUST US SPITTAS. JUST BARS.
It’s about iron sharpening iron, and taking it back to the original essence of skills and technique.
Hip Hop vibes ALL night with no permission to get some BARs off and kick some rhymes. For Musicians who want to play ONLY Hip Hop grooves, DJs that want to get they scratch on, this is what BARS ONLY LIVE is for.
There’s no sign up process. None of that.

This here is LA new HIP HOP ONLY Shed/Cypher/ and jam session all in one. -LYRIC JONES”
