Burn Ignite presents :: PLAYGROUND :: Julius Wright a.k.a Lyrical God from Burn Ignite on Vimeo.

Julius Wright a.k.a Lyrical God sees the world as a "playground". Julius is a 21-year-old Philadelphian beat/rap artist, a combination of urban percussionist and MC, whose exceptional talents combine to deliver a moving and sometimes brutal street soundscape.

Anything he can pen-tap or beat on is used for his music - stop signs, trash cans, post boxes - the city of Philadelphia becomes a re-appropriated soundboard reflecting the rhythm of his life.

Wright picked up a pen and started tapping on his school desk in the eighth grade and has now grown from the street to the studio. Julius tells us the city made him who he is, he in turn has remade the city, digging out its hidden rhythms and reaching out to its people.

This film was created alongside two other Burn productions, one a film portrait featuring Jess Kimura and the all-girl hardcore snowboarding film collective Peep Show, and the other a short film collaboration on the ultimate Mexico City street skate, featuring LA legend Steve Berra.

Burn Studios, aka Burn music, seeks to highlight individuals passion for what they do by exploring how they channel their energies in music.
