No Paperwork
L.A.Z
2017
No Paperwork is “the soundtrack to being a starving artist in transition” who moves to the beat of their own drum.
After quitting his day job and taking a leap of faith into his music career at age 28, Detroit-based lyricist L.A.Z of Clear Soul Forces marinated on his decisions and ended up making some of his most compelling art yet with No Paperwork. It’s the culmination of not only years of grinding and creating, but also the mental peace that comes with realizing money isn’t everything.
“The EP is my reminder to myself and my family that you can’t put a price tag or a time limit on finding peace of mind,” the rapper explains, revealing that he actually burned his last dollar to shoot the No Paperwork cover. It’s also a reminder that at the end of the day, it’s all about the music for L.A.Z, and he puts his best foot forward in every aspect on the projects’s six cuts.
