"BallerStatus: Lysick ft. Krystale: YOLO (You Only Love Once) (Music Video)"

Up-and-coming Montreal artist Lysick is on his grind. Following the release of a new album, titled Y.O.L.O. (You Only Love Once), originally slated to be a a mixtape, he chooses to drop a video to its title track.

With dope and creative production from Reese Jones, which samples George Michael's classic record "Careless Whisper," the rapper kicks off the clip on the corner, fidgeting as if he's a crack fiend. But, it's love that's got him going through it, not drugs.

The full project dropped on Valentine's Day. Get it now over at Bandcamp.com. - BallerStatus

"Indecent Xposure: Lysick - 'YOLO: You Only Love Once' ft. Krystale (download)"

Montreal-based rapper Lysick took advantage of Drake's overly-quoted 'YOLO' and spun it into the leading single off his debut album. Featuring none other than our very own Krystale, the track is made up of a sample of George Michaels' ever so cheesy 'Careless Whisper'. Watch the feature video and grab at the entire album for free. - IX: Indecent Xposure

"POP Montreal Artist Page: Lysick"

Montréal hip-hop artist Lysick layers cleverly remixed pop samples under lyrics about girls, girls, girls. His latest album grows from the theme of You Only Love Once—an emotional reclamation of mainstream rap’s motto of YOLO (You Only Live Once). - POP Montreal

Bio

Lysick was born in Montreal, to a split-family home and was left with his mom to raise him- Wait, this sounds like every rapper's story.

What differentiates Lysick from every other rapper is that for one, he's from Montreal and embodies the city's culture, whereas other Montreal rappers are too influenced by American rappers with no hint of their surrounding affecting their music. While the city's French heritage influences Lysick, his Haitian and Nigerian background also adds to his character as he implements those features into his music as well.

Montreal's music scene has no definite genre, it's very spacy and transcendental. This environment can be found in Lysick's music. In 2012, Lysick dropped a traditional rap record called "YOLO (You Only Love Once)" for a Valentine's Day deadline. That release landed him a spot to perform at POP Montreal in the same year. Since then, he's been recording material for his upcoming project, 'Repulsive Beauty'. On the road to the 2nd release, Lysick has been performing at bars, theaters, open mic venues, and others, to keep his name out there.
