Spitting raps at every opportunity, performing live and on radio as solo artists and collectively since the early nineties, the crew decided to officially combine talents in 1999 and set about touring with a notorious live set that secured a fan-base the country over.

The “Lyrical Commission” name was created off the back of Bob Balans’ solo track on the Nuff Said compilation, ‘Rock Da City’ with the name depicting what the crew was all about, the lyrics, no cat in the hat crap, they were on some complex street shit, inspired of course by the greats – Rakim Allah, G Rap, Kane, Finesse etc. On the back of touring the nation and countless guest appearances, L.C at long last made plans to get official product out on the streets. The recording for their debut release commenced in mid 2002, and ‘The Stage Is Set…’ dropped in Dec 02. It received excellent reviews, international acclaim, consolidated the crews burgeoning fan base and set a precedent among the Australian hip-hop underground. No other local release at that time had created such a street buzz and with little more than hand to hand distribution, word of mouth and L.C’s rep for killing shit, ‘Stage is Set…’ did incredibly well. They continued to tour fairly extensively giving the nation a dose of The Stage Is Set live experience and in doing so garnered a rep for having one of the wildest shows ever witnessed.

After the drop of their debut and follow up tour, the crew worked tirelessly in the studio and vocal booth, refining and perfecting their style, eventually leading to the recording of their second release “Murderous Metaphors” (including tracks with NY underground legends Q-Unique and Celph Titled), The EP lived up to its promising expectations and although wasnt a full length release, the 8 new joints more than delivered what fans had been eagerly awaiting. L.C had well and truly shown they are a world class act.

With Trem’s production reaching new heights and the rhyme structures, style and wordplay of the crew maturing to next level status the follow up tour saw the biggest crowds L.C ever headlined to and was sold out across the country. With the rep solidified the crew unofficially disbanded in ’07 to work on solo projects.
