LyricalGenes’s new single praises his family and pays tribute to the 2018 Antioch Waffle House shooting. With LyricalGenes’ father absent from his life, young LyricalGenes was influenced by his mother to channel his emotions by writing in journals. Dana quickly learned how to write poems, which led to three minute songs that other artists twice his age could not create. Dana’s genuine and straight forward rhyming style has captured the attention of thousands around the world.
With LyriclaGenes’ “Family” single being inspired by the 2018 Antioch Waffle House shooting in remembrance to his cousin, De’Ebony Groves, who was shot and killed at age 21, Dana found the strength to uplift others through his song. Even when he feels like giving up, he utters the words, “What? You thought I was finished? Think MJ would have gave up when he lost Scottie Pippen?” Clearly illustrating how dedicated LyricalGenes is to his craft. In the last verse, LyricalGenes states, “Trying to make a living what I write down, step aside it’s my time now,” distinctly showing his secondary motive, to become successful and make a living off of his music.
