Jesse James Enoch (born 19 July 1983), better known by his stage name Lyrikal, is a Trinidian Singer, record producer and songwriter. He started his professional music career in 2003 with Port Harcourt city based record label Tuck Tyght and released his first official single 'Learn Something'. His second single 'Can U Relate' showed his boldness and ability to address sensitive topics like Socio-political issues in Trinidad. Lyrikal has since become a voice for the gifted and the oppressed.
Lyrikal claims his inspiration for making music comes from being exposed to almost all genres of music especially reggae and disco during his early years. His early music influences were the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Mc Hammer and Shabba Ranks. His love for rap music manifested when he saw the 1990 flick House Party.
In the early 90's young Lyrikal fell in love with Hip Hop and honed his skills in rapping, rhyming and song writing. He would later be influenced by the music and works of acts like Snoop Dogg (now Snoop Lion), Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Wu Tang Clan, and Nas whom he also happens to share the same birthday with, though ten years apart. In 2003, he began his career with Tuck Tyght, a rap label that housed some of the most celebrated rap talents at the time in Port Harcourt. Some of these talents were Mack Gee, Double K, Andre Blaze, The Veteran and Damage. His contribution to the Port Harcourt City classic album "Now Official" could not be ignored as he slowly cemented his place in the Port Harcourt music scene.
By 2006, Jesse went on a solo campaign with "The Escalator Project", during which he recorded over thirty songs, but his attempt to release the project was futile as he had neither the proper management nor funds to do this. He however released a number of singles that did well in the local scenery but did not get the nationwide recognition he had hoped for. He continued on this path, making a name and gaining respect amongst his peers but still struggled to make the cross he desired.
In late 2010 however, Lyrikal moved on to Xcel Music, ironically the same label that housed Specimen A and M-Trill, who Lyrikal had dissed in the past. He has since recorded over a hundred songs, his debut project was released in 2013 titled "R.M.F.A.O[1] (Rappin' My Fuckin' Ass Off)" a mixed tape which received huge critical reviews.
Lyrikal is currently promoting the release of his second mixtape titled "OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder On 6 January 2014 he released 'Focused'; the first official single off the OCD mixtape.Subsequently, he released his covers to Pound Cake by Drake, Tom Ford by Jay-Z and Rap God by Eminem. Nearly thirteen years since beginning his musical career and successfully moulding the hip hop scene in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Lyrikal is only now working on his first official album to be released later in 2015.
