RAPPER AND POET LYSSEN TO PERFORM WITH JOELL ORTIZ OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE

Chicago Rapper Lyssen (pronounced listen) uses her music to influence change through self-awareness. The poetic artist will perform at Las Palmas in Hollywood on Friday, August 7, as a part of the Joell Ortiz tour. Ortiz is known for his role in the hip-hop group Slaughterhouse, which was organized by Eminem.

In addition to rhyming, Lyssen is also a motivational speaker who promotes personal growth and self-awareness to all ages.
