The Californer/10311805

WASHINGTON - Californer -- ising hip-hop artist and poetic visionary LYRICALMAR will release his bold new EP titled "MARCHIVES" on May 16, 2025—just ahead of his scheduled performances at World Pride 2025, hosted for the first time in Washington, DC.  "MARCHIVES" is a deeply personal, genre-blurring body of work that blends hip-hop, experimental sound, and emotional vulnerability into a musical time capsule. Through the lens of Black queer identity, love, loss, and radical self-expression, the DC native curates a sonic archive that is both timeless and fiercely current.

"This is more than an EP—it's my lived experience pressed into rhythm and rhyme," says LYRICALMAR. "MARCHIVES" is a love letter to the people and places that shaped me—and a declaration that my voice matters."
