Background notes
Archive material and source history
Latryx was a hip-hop duo from Oakland, California, consisting of Latyrx King (born Latyrx Kenyatta Dillard) and Lyrics Born (born Tom Shimura). They released several albums including 'Latyrx' in 1997, 'The Album' in 2000, 'Latyrx 4 Prez' in 2002, and 'The Prescription' in 2006.
Their most recognized song is 'Lady Don't Tek No' from 2000, which became something of an anthem with its blend of hip-hop, funk, and soul elements. The track's lyrics addressed themes of female empowerment and social issues, which was characteristic of their approach.
Latryx developed a dedicated following among listeners who appreciated their eclectic sound and willingness to address topics like race and gender in their work. Their music didn't always fit neatly into mainstream hip-hop categories, but they maintained a consistent artistic vision across their releases.
