(HIPHOP) Lyrics Born's real name is Tom Shimura, he was born in Tokyo, raised in the Bay Area, is a member of Latyrx, and part owner of Quannum Projects. Like Rakim and Freestyle Fellowship, Lyrics Born raps in the way a jazz saxophonist blows. Meaning his raps are more about the sounds of words rather than their meanings. To borrow the words of Nice and Smooth, sometimes he raps fast; sometimes he raps slow. (Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, 324-8000. 8 pm, $12, all ages.)
