“LEX the Lexicon Artist Makes Rap-Rock Music That’s Both Cerebral and Self-Empowering” - Kyle Petersen, Free Times SC
“In the case of LEX the Lexicon Artist, her music’s open honesty plays a pivotal role as well. She plays with the inner struggles of artists in her songs, subtly and not-so-subtly revealing key aspects of herself. There’s no holding back. Social awkwardness takes center stage as well, alongside a slew of relatable nerd afflictions.” - Jeff Mitchell, Living Life Fearless
