MEET LT THE LYRICAL TWIST

LT The Lyrical Twist

Indiana may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about hip-hop, but LT The Lyrical Twist is proving that talent knows no boundaries. With his rapid-fire delivery, hard-hitting beats, and undeniable charisma, LT is carving out a name for himself in the independent rap scene. Known for tracks like “Money Walk” and “Shark Attack,” he blends Midwest hustle with an energetic and infectious sound.

A LOOK INTO LT’S JOURNEY

LT The Lyrical Twist—often called simply LT—began his musical journey by honing his craft in local rap battles, freestyling, and writing lyrics that showcased his impressive wordplay. His ability to twist and flip words at lightning speed earned him the moniker “Lyrical Twist.” Inspired by hip-hop greats who mastered flow and storytelling, LT developed a signature sound that sets him apart from the crowd.

With Indiana not being a traditional hip-hop hub, LT had to grind hard to get his music heard. He built his following through grassroots efforts, performing at local shows, dropping music consistently, and using social media to connect with fans. Over time, his music started gaining traction, proving that talent and determination can break barriers.

NOTABLE TRACKS & FEATURES

LT has released several tracks that showcase his talent. He has notable tracks teaming up with Bone Crusher and Cashville DTay to name a few. But two of his most talked-about songs are “Money Walk” and “Shark Attack.”

An anthem for success and financial ambition, “Money Walk” features upbeat production combined with LT’s confident flow. It makes it a go-to song for anyone looking to level up in life. The song not only motivates but also delivers a vibe that gets people moving, making it a club and party favorite.

“Shark Attack” is a hard-hitting track that displays LT’s aggressive flow and lyrical dominance. The song’s title perfectly matches its energy—LT comes in strong, attacking the beat with precision and authority. With its sharp wordplay and commanding presence, Shark Attack proves why LT is a force to be reckoned with.

LT THE LYRICAL TWIST-TOUCH YOUR TOES

LT’s latest track “Touch Your Toes” has become the new strip club anthem! While displaying his raw and gritty sound, the music video compliments the track perfectly. Check out the official music video down below!

CELEBRATING HIP-HOP, LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE, TENTHLETTERMEDIA & STRAIGHT OFFICIAL MAGAZINE PRESENTS THE #SATURDAYSPOTLIGHT

MEET TEVIN STUDDARD

TEVIN STUDDARD has been going HARD over the past few weeks for his community! Born and raised in Indianapolis, IN, Tevin has become both an overnight success and a narrative changer for his city. Ever since he went viral with a rap song about Long’s Donuts last year, the WISH TV 8 personality and entrepreneur has set the bar for putting all his people on. Tevin is built for providing prosperity to his brothers and sisters by any means necessary!

TEVIN’S FAMILY TIES

Studdard became widely popular through the production of songs and music videos for collegiate and high school sports teams. Talent runs deep in the Studdard bloodline as Tevin is the cousin of Ruben Studdard, the first African-American male to win American Idol. Tevin used music as a escape from the real life tragedy that altered the course of his life.

“I had a cousin that was killed outside my grandma’s house when I was in school,” Studdard recants. “It was kinda just a defining moment for me. I was depressed and ended up at that time dropping out of school. Music was where I could find hope. It was an outlet of expression for me.”

TEVIN SEIZES AN OPPORTUNITY

Going after his dreams with veracity, Tevin would catch the attention of some of the city’s most influential people. He recalled the time that his music made it to WNBA legend Tamika Catchings. “My senior year of high school I sent some songs to Tamika and she really liked them,” he said. Seeing the opportunity to get one step closer to his goal, Tevin came to Tamika with an ultimatum.

“I told her if she liked my music then could I write a song for the Indiana Fever,” he said. “But, the catch was that if the song was good enough for the Fever, then she would let me perform it at Conseco (now Bankers Life) Fieldhouse. She gave me her word and I jumped in the studio like Superman!”

It’s like the worst that they could tell me was ‘no’. If you got the dream inside of you, work your behind off it.”

TEVIN GOES BEYOND THE MUSIC

I caught up with Tevin a few weeks ago as he celebrated the grand opening of Tevin’s Vision. On a Wednesday afternoon, Tevin reached out to 100 small business owners and from his newly acquired building inside Washington Square Mall. Tevin would flood the dying establishment with 133 total business owners! Stores like Sears, Montgomery Ward and LS Ayres which occupied the building years ago could never warrant this much traffic! Tevin was filming a new online series called To-Go Plate. He invited chefs and restaurant owners to sample their dishes and highlight their respective businesses.

From there Tevin would proceed to meet and greet with every single vendor that was in the building. I watched as Tevin took plate after plate from every chef! He proceeded to canvas the mall and shake hands and embrace all the vendors in attendance. It was a testament to how much Tevin wants his people to win. On October 2nd, Tevin will be doing it all over again with the second helping of Tevin’s Vision with the goal to have over 200 business owners and vendors on site!
