The Best Kept Secret

lyr·i·cist

[lir-uh-sist]

noun

1. a person who writes the lyrics  for songs.

2. a lyric poet.*

...A lyricist, also called a lyric writer or wordsmith, is a person who has a way with words; Example: Rich McBuckets.

Alright, let me introduce you to another highly talented friend of mine... He goes by the name Rich McBuckets and he just put out his first mixtape: Verano Vibes. Since the first song I heard of his, "Odd Man Out", I knew Rich was going to do great things with his talent. His music is real and honest, but his play on words is just impeccable.  Rich formulates thee most clever analogies and metaphors, and like he says in his song "Beast", he "kills 'em with the syntax."

You don't have to take my word for it, you can check out his mixtape for yourself (another one of those highly recommended listens). Verano Vibes "is a fun collage of songs that will lift your spirits and is perfect for the summer!" The six tracks all complement each other perfectly and take you through all the best moments of a summer's day. Rich offers a glimpse into his life from hanging out with his friends in "California Sunshine" to his more vulnerable side with "Falling in Love".  Don't get me wrong though, Rich definitely sets the record straight with some of his hard hitting, bass kicking tracks like "Show Me Something" and "Beast".  He lets us all know what he's about and there's just no denying that writing songs is what he's meant to do.  There's a track for everyone on Verano Vibes. Rich Mcbuckets is fresh, in every translation of the word. His connection with each beat is on point, his ability to create a mixtape with not 1 curse word is impressive, and his translation of ideas through analogies, metaphors, and similes, is captivating. Just the beats alone put you in a good mood and make you want to listen, but his words make you think "what did he just say?" then rewind it and listen again.

Honestly, I'm glad Rich McBuckets is doing what he's doing. I definitely look forward to his future projects. Waiting for his next compilation is like waiting for midnight on Christmas. You don't quite know what you're going to get but you know there's something great under that tree. Haha. If you haven't already, go listen to Verano Vibes, you wont regret it! Shout outs to Rich, you're doing your thing and you're doing it like a boss. I'm going to leave you with a Rich McBuckets video and the link to his bandcamp page...
