At the end of last year none of us could stop singing Wiz Kalifa’s catchy hit Black and Yellow, so when amazingly talented nine year old Young Lyric, aka Lyrikkal, came out with her version, Pink and Purple, we couldn’t believe she’d taken a hip hop hit and made it even better!

Last year Lyrikkal blew up on the internet when she released Pink and Purple on YouTube, and floored everyone with her incredible rapping skills.
