Rising from the streets of Trenton, New Jersey, independent artist Lo Lyfe is back with a powerful new single, “Nightmares,” which serves as a raw reflection of his life’s journey. After years of navigating pain, hardship, and near-incarceration, Lo Lyfe uses music as both his refuge and platform for storytelling, captivating listeners with his gritty yet honest narratives. This single sets the stage for his upcoming album, Mark of the Beast, due to release on December 25, 2024.
Lo Lyfe‘s story is a testament to resilience. Born Louis Darrell Scott III, his stage name “Lo Lyfe” is both personal and profound. “Lo” stems from his given name Louis, and “Lyfe” represents the unfiltered glimpse of his life that he shares through his music. The latest release, “Nightmares,” is a chilling yet empowering track where Lo Lyfe confronts the haunting realities of his life—those same dreams he once had turning into nightmares. The track reflects his inner turmoil, tragedies, and triumphs while offering a deeply personal conversation between himself and God, a theme that resonates throughout his music.
Lo Lyfe‘s musical journey began as a response to the pain he experienced growing up in a broken home, where his voice felt lost amidst the chaos of poverty, drugs, and violence. Music became his saving grace, allowing him to channel his struggles creatively. It was a chance encounter with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s cassette tape in 1998 that sparked his profound connection with hip-hop, transforming his poetry and art into the soulful alchemy that is his music today.
However, life presented difficult choices, and Lo Lyfe candidly reflects on moments when he chose the streets over the studio. Now, with renewed focus and determination, he has redirected his energy back to his craft, grateful to have escaped the clutches of what could have been a double life sentence. His music has already reached fans as far as Los Angeles, and with Nightmares, he aims to further solidify his name in the industry.
“My goal is to build a legacy with my music that transcends beyond me,” Lo Lyfe shares. “I want to show that even the underdog can overcome the obstacles, challenges, and circumstances they face. I’m promoting opportunity for anyone like me to attain success, no matter what life throws at you.”
“Nightmares“ is the first of many singles that will appear on his upcoming album Mark of the Beast, and listeners can expect a raw, unfiltered journey through Lo Lyfe’s story, delivered with authenticity and passion.
Lo Lyfe’s single “Nightmares” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Be sure to mark your calendars for December 25, 2024, when his highly anticipated album, Mark of the Beast, drops worldwide.
