Larry Henderson A.K.A. Lak (pronounced LOCK) is a brilliant, versatile lyricist devoted to staking his claim on hip-hop and taking it to new and exciting levels. Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, he began rhyming in the fourth grade. Growing up in the center of hip-hop’s golden era of the 1980s, when true lyricism dominated the airways, Lak was inspired by the legends of that era – Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, KRS-One and EPMD, to name a few. After listening to Lak flow, it’s easy to assess that he is the new version of an old school hip-hop tradition. He captures the heart of what hip-hop was built upon – realism and passion.
A true entertainer, Lak is known for his stage show that hypnotizes audiences with intense rhymes, ill metaphors and a rousing delivery. He was an on-air personality at Rutgers University’s WRSU 88.7 FM, and he has performed in countless shows and rap battles and has appeared on numerous underground mixtapes. Lak has been profiled in a number of magazines and newspapers including DOMINION OF NEW YORK: THE BEST OF BLACK NEW YORK ("Most people who use hip-hop to educate children do so badly. Lak does it so well") and THE URBAN TIMES ("Lak is taking the reigns from the 'higher powers' who control hip-hop and bringing it back to its original essence") and he has also been featured as a guest on several radio and television programs including CBS Radio, LA Talk Radio, Princeton University's WPRB 103.3 FM, Chicago's WVON 1690 AM, BET and more.
