THE OFFICIAL BAND BIOGRAPHY

RHYMING ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK. IT IS A LIFESTYLE.

“Rhyme Nation emerges from the land of rhythm and rhymes.”

Rhyme Nation emerges from the land of rhythm and rhymes. Luscious Lips, DJ Sweat, Ghost, and the legend himself Mr. Rhyme met during high school to make awesome sauce.

Their purpose: to exterminate the nonchalantness plaguing current society, and to inspire a nation of like minded individuals to rhyme, change the times, and last but not least blow people's minds.

READ THE OFFICIAL LORE +

To Rhyme Nation, rhyming isn't what you think, it is a lifestyle. It's about continuity and purpose, making each action lead to the next. Rhyme Nation is inspired by but not limited to indie rock.

With our newest addition of Dr. TomSnare and Minister of Thump we are ready to show the world our rhymes. We are most known for our professionalism in being upstairs neighbours.

One doesn't rhyme once and is done, one rhymes for life and makes their days full of life. So long!
