Rhys Langston

Rhys Langston is a rapper and multi-instrumentalist born, raised, and based in Los Angeles, CA.  Live in concert and recorded, his works are available in high-definition stereo and full-frontal honesty. As a performer he combines rap, singing, live beat effects, stand-up comedy, and avant-garde poetry into masterful, self-aware spectacles (cue the eye rolls).  As a recording artist, he largely self-produces, expertly engineering every facet of his music. Within his releases, his songs' concepts and sounds can range from crooning ballads about a failed relationship funneled through depressed jitters of caffeine to anthemic, 808-heavy take-downs of environmental racism (as a few light examples).

Consequently, he has earned kind nods from the New York Timesthe LA TimesSPINAFROPUNKDJ BoothHipHopDXHYPEBEASTBandcamp, STEREOGUM, and others.

He remains the poet laureate of his living room, and has a higher vertical leap than your favorite rapper.
