In this episode of The Corelink Solution Lyra C, a dynamic Christian hip hop artist from Brooklyn, took center stage, sharing her journey as both a musician and a minister through her art.

Meeting Lyra C was a transformative encounter. It all began at an event called “So You Think You Got Bars,” where Lyra captivated the audience with her passion and talent. Despite the competitive nature of the event, her style stood out, showcasing how competition can be handled with grace and camaraderie among Christians.

The Artist’s Journey

Lyra C, a Brooklyn-born Christian hip hop artist, crafts infectious beats while weaving heartfelt storytelling. Her music serves as a ministry, spreading hope and salvation. With a disarmingly humble personality, Lyra shares more than just her art; she shares her life, aspirations, and faith.

The young artist, known formally as Charlene Langhorne, surprised many when she revealed her dream of one day owning a farm, inspired by childhood fascination with animals. Beyond music, Lyra also embraces authorship. She wrote her first book years ago and anticipates releasing her second book, “Prayers That Make Hell Nervous,” soon.

Healing Through Writing and Music

Lyra’s path to writing and music was not just a professional choice but a deeply personal journey of healing. Writing her testimony became a therapeutic process, combining prayers and declarations aimed to empower and heal others. Her music serves as a vessel for her to channel past pain into passion, offering her healing while reaching out to others in similar struggles.

Despite being relatively new to the Christian hip hop scene—with just over a year and a half of Christian hip hop experience—Lyra’s impact is significant. Her music is born from her love of hip hop that she discovered at a Christian hip hop event. Witnessing performances by artists like Hog Mob Dante, she felt a connection and an inspiration that ignited her creativity.

A Personal Life Intertwined with Music

Lyra’s personal life isn’t separate from her professional endeavors. Married to her husband Yuro, both artist and manager, Lyra blends life and art seamlessly. Their journey together—from courtship to marriage—serves as a testament to the power of faith and mutual support. The couple collaborates closely, with Yuro contributing significantly to Lyra’s musical journey.

Future Prospects and Vision

As Lyra looks forward, her artistic goals are intertwined with her mission to use music as an evangelistic tool, leading others to Christ. She aims to release two EPs: one with new music, and the other focusing on mental health awareness, an area close to her heart due to personal experiences with conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Lyra addresses mental health issues openly, sharing how her spiritual journey brought healing. Her willingness to delve into topics like occultism and deliverance in her music reflects her commitment to sharing the transformative power of faith.

Encouraging Others

For aspiring Christian hip hop artists, Lyra advises staying true to oneself while remaining obedient to God’s call. Her journey exemplifies that staying focused on glorifying God ensures divine elevation and fulfillment. Her music and story resonate with authenticity, reminding others that God can utilize pain and turn it into a powerful passion.

Lyra’s story is one of transformation, dedication, and unwavering faith. Whether through music or the written word, her purpose remains clear: to inspire, heal, and lead others towards the light of Christ. Her message, both intimate and universal, is a testament to the impact that sincerity and faith can have when combined with creative expression.
