Artist picture
He has been quoted as "The illest MC to come out of the Cypress Hills section of East New York (Brooklyn)... A-LEX-ander The GREAT! His uncanny wordplay, witty punch lines and melodic choruses are both undeniable and infectious. He creates an emotional and energetic sound that is laced with introspective street tales rhythms with compelling changes and there is never a break or mistake in the music..."? (continued in closing) - Talent Agency A-LEX is an internationally acknowledged artist who has made many televised appearances including BET's 106 & Park numerous times performing original songs such as "Turn it Up!" "Do Dat Thang", "I Ain't Gon' Stop"?, and others just to name a few (all which can be found on his most recent release "LEXtraterrestrial"[Below]). A-LEX & his music are accepted in a wide range of cultures; he has performed everywhere from Puerto-Rican Day Parades/Festivals to the Nigerian Entertainment Awards. LEX has been featured on many websites (i.e. YouHeardThatNew.com, Soundclick.com, BET.com, etc.) and radio stations.

He is constantly on the grind and is a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop music scene... and has the dynamics and talent to make it in today's cutthroat industry!"- Talent Agency

Lyrics
"Learning How to Live" I can't speak for anyone else, but I know how I feel about life (hard times and all). They say, “Those that mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”// Besides God's, the only opinion that really matters is mine.// My time is coming it’s a matter of time.// Most you n*** s just taking up space like matter at times.// You can doubt me while I'm down in this battle. That's fine,// but if you think I lost the war, you're out ya rabbit ass mind.// (cause) They say the GREATer the sruggle, then GREATer is the blessing,// and GREATer is the diamond when applying GREATer pressure.// So, I'm thankful for my problems and I'm thankful for their lessons.// They helped me to prioritize and to put things in prospective.// (I) Went from confused to enthused 'bout my Life.// Standing firm like I locked pupils with Medusa's eyesight.// Never looking in the past, rarely using hindsight.// (So I) LEFT my old thinking just to get my mind RIGHT.// And these are just some lessons I've been taught// in Life's class, where the professor is The Lord,// cause (Hook) Verse #2: I know somebody out there listening shaken his head right now.// Probably wondering like, "What's going thru his head right now?"// Man, I'm just happy to be alive; could've been dead right now.// So, I'm happy to be able to say whateva is said right now.// See what I'm writing now/ might not blend too tuff// with those who's known to worry about life's simple stuff.// Which usually means that they haven't been thru much,// and if you read their life story they haven't pencil'd much.// Ya see, we all knew hustlers who neva got to retire,// Who ironically lost their life to who are now called "lifers"// The moral of that story is that a Hitman for hire// is usually hired to kill the fiend's "hit man for hire".// As an adult drop gems for the minors,// but even for adults I drop gems like a miner.// cause as a student of life you'll/ always have pop-quiz// and that's how it is/ when ya just learning how to live//...(Hook) Verse #3: Learning to take it one day @ a time tryna live for the moment.// Tomorrow has it's own issues. I'll deal with those then.// Tryna to stay focused/ while in certain situations// Tryna stop beating myself up for making the same mistakes cause// no matter how bad it gets some would luv to be trade places.// So, I'm acustom to the best, but appreciate the basics.// I've learned to live with few friends/ cause most n*** s don't need 2 twins/ to begin/ Changing Faces.// (2 face n*** s). Learned not too get wrapped up in emotions,// and when they can people tend to take advantage of ya devotion.// I'm learning that there plenty of fish in the sea,// but all it takes is one shark attack to keep some away from that ocean.// They say, "If you can't be used, then you're useless."// I say, "Everybody gets used, but I choose to be used-less".// (I'm just learning how live), and nah I ain't Ace this test.// but everyday it's like I break my neck while I’m just.// (Hook)
