Latyrx is an American alternative hip-hop duo consisting of Lateef and Lyrics Born.

The crew’s charter members—, including DJ Shadow and the future Blackalicious’ team—, were all involved in student radio and shared a similar approach to hip-hop.

Lyrics Born released two solo albums on Quannum Projects before signing in 2006 to Epitaph Records.

[citation needed] Lyrics Born announced on his website in February–March 2007 via a podcast that a new Latyrx album would be released after his next solo project.
