Artist History The Lyricist Lounge was founded by Danny Castro and Anthony Marshal in 1991 and has been the springboard of development for several of today's Hip-hop all-stars including: Lord Have Mercy, Rah Digga, Mos Def, Eminem, the Last Emporer, Cocoa Brothers, Foxy Brown, The outsiders, Mobb Deep, Dead Prez, The Infamous Syndicate, and M.O.P. to name a few. All of these groups have since signed with major labels. Last year, September 1998, to celebrate the release of the Lyricist Lounge Vol. 1 double compilation album "The Soundtrack To A Hip-hop Movement" on Open Mic/Rawkus, the Lyricist Lounge embarked on it's first national tour. Packed with names like Slick Rick, Blackstarr, Big Pun, Krs-One, De La Soul, Kid Capri, The Roots, Common, Eminem, and up and coming groups The Last Emperor, Defari, Natural Elements & other, this tour proved to be succesful. This year with MP3.com as the Title Sponsor, The Lyricist Lounge 1999 Domestic tour is back.
