Atlanta has long been a hotbed for hip-hop and R&B greatness — and now, Devin Lemon, better known as Sour Lyrics (or @iamsourlyrics on socials), is emerging from the city’s vibrant creative scene with a sound, strategy, and spirit all his own.

Raised in a home where music wasn’t just background noise but part of the DNA, Sour Lyrics absorbed the rhythms of life early. His father’s DJ decks and his mother’s love for classic music videos laid the foundation for a future steeped in beats, bars, and a bold vision.

From Inspiration to Action

Sour’s artistic journey began with the influence of close friends already making music, but it didn’t take long for him to find his own voice behind the mic. Since 2014, he’s been building his sound and story — one that blends street-smart hustle with heartfelt storytelling.

Key to this story is his creative partnership with Stephen Allen Music, a gifted producer, songwriter, and vocalist. Their collaboration stretches over a decade, and the chemistry shows. In 2017, Sour solidified his commitment to the craft by launching Rhythm N Poetry Entertainment LLC, an independent label that acts as both creative outlet and entrepreneurial playground.

Bigger Than the Music

For Sour Lyrics, music is more than a calling — it’s a launchpad. “Financial freedom is the goal,” he says. “But more than that, I want to build platforms that create opportunities for other artists and producers.” He sees his artistry as a vehicle for change — a way to uplift, connect, and empower the next generation of indie talent.

Coming in Hot: Three Singles to Watch For

2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year. Sour Lyrics is dropping three new singles that showcase both his versatility and collaborative spirit:

• “Exotic Girl” – a smooth, summer-ready anthem
• “Shake Sumthin” ft. Kam Krzy – a high-energy banger with club appeal
• “Babe” ft. Stephen Allen Music – a soulful track rooted in melody and meaning

Each release underscores his ability to shift between moods while staying true to his unique voice.

An Independent Path, Purposefully Taken

There may be no major label deal (yet), but that’s by design. Sour Lyrics is committed to staying independent — for now — focused on building a foundation that aligns with his values and creative control. The journey is organic, authentic, and driven by long-term vision, not overnight fame.

From the Southside to the Spotlight

Sour Lyrics isn’t just making music — he’s building a movement. One rooted in culture, community, and creative independence. Keep your ears open — Atlanta’s next star is doing it his way.
