Rising hip-hop talent LVCEY (pronounced “Lacey“) has officially dropped his highly anticipated new project 91: WE$TSIDE, a powerful musical statement that bridges Boston’s street roots with universal hip-hop appeal. The Boston-born artist delivers his most personal work to date, blending raw lyricism with soulful production across the project’s tracks.
Born in 1991 and raised in Hyde Park (known locally as “Westside“), LVCEY has been perfecting his craft since age 13. His latest offering pays homage to both his birthplace and birth year while showcasing his evolution as one of New England’s most promising MCs. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop legends like Jay-Z, Nas and Mobb Deep, LVCEY carries the torch for lyric-driven rap while developing his own distinctive sound.
Music runs deep in LVCEY‘s blood. As the son of a prominent Mattapan DJ, he grew up immersed in hip-hop culture, developing an ear for beats and rhymes that shines through in his music. 91: WE$TSIDE demonstrates this musical pedigree, with LVCEY handling both rapping and production duties to create a cohesive, authentic sound.
“This project is my story – the struggles, the come-up, and the love for my city all wrapped in these tracks,” LVCEY explains. “I wanted to make something that honors the golden era of hip-hop but still sounds fresh today. This is Boston hip-hop at its realest.”
Early listeners have praised 91: WE$TSIDE for its honest lyricism, smooth flow switches, and nostalgic yet modern production. The project finds LVCEY at his most confident and technically proficient, delivering the kind of performance that could put Boston back on the hip-hop map.
91: WE$TSIDE is now available on all major streaming platforms.
