For some, music is therapy; a means to heal from pains of the past. For others, music becomes an expression of the creative spirit and love that lives in us all. For a chosen few, music is a call to rebel. For Lamarr Lewis, also known as L-Marr the Great, music is all these things and more.
Born in 1982 in Dayton, Ohio , L-Marr was always a little different from his peers. With a passion for writing and performing, the path to Hip-Hop was inevitable. While most of his family listened to Gospel and Soul music, his aunt exposed him to Rap. He was hooked.
Starting at the tender age of ten, L-Marr created and recorded music on his boom box, though never taking his craft too seriously. His friendships, forged in high school with a pair of hungry MCs, now known as Definition, inspired him to take his craft to the next level. Performing wherever he could, he entered and won freestyle battles and talent showcases. He evolved into a complete MC. His persistence created a stage presence forged only through practice, repetition and hard work.
His perspective on life changed. While attending college, L-Marr felt his music did not reflect his vision of the world. He read about great thinkers and leaders in history like Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, Bob Marley, Stokely Carmichael, Frantz Fanon and W.E.B. DuBois, to name a few. Yet, one book profoundly affected him, The Prince by Machiavelli. This highly controversial book of politics gave instructions on how one should rule his province. Understanding how the form of leadership outlined in Machiavelli's book could be seen as the cause of many of today's ills, L-Marr decided to use The Prince as is his moniker. This name created a new meaning.
Already christened with the name L-Marr the Great by a college friend, The Prince was a natural addition. The alias is a connection to his African roots, broken during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The Prince not only distinguishes L-Marr from the common rapper, it also reflects his positive application of the information learned from the book. He took Hip-Hop and Soul music and used them as his platform and a means to start his movement.
