Lyrical Law is the eleventh studio album by American rapper Canibus, released on June 24, 2011 over iTunes. Physical copies were shipped independently from his website, CanibusCatalogue.com, starting July 5, 2011. Buyers of the album had a choice of the LP in a sleeve, jewel case CD, or as a Deluxe LP package. The Deluxe Package included an autographed CD in jewel case and two bonus discs. The first bonus disc features artists from Spitboss on completely new material or remixes of Melatonin Magik. The third and final disc is titled Lyrical Warfare and it was recorded in 1993 by The Harolds of Extreme Metaphors (T.H.E.M.) with Webb between Atlanta and Washington, DC. The album songs include feats with Chino XL, K-Solo, K Rino, Killah Priest, Helltah Skeltah, Born Sun and Royce da 5'9"
Just after CanibusCatalogue.com was up and running, fans were able to pre-order the Lyrical Law LP and could also read a letter from Canibus and view the track listing for the album as well, which sold a total of 10 physical copies. This track listing featured "Lullabies of Champions" (which was pulled because of the beat sample rights not being approved). Before release album had aimed dissed to Slaughterhouse members, Royce da 5'9" and Joe Budden (HRSMN attack, Lyrical Law vs Royce da 5'9" and Lyrical Law vs Joe Cupcakes), but then these songs pulled from the album after beef ends, then Canibus and Royce record feat named "Cypher of Bread and Butter".
