I THINK I FIRST MET LE1F SOMETIME AROUND 2008, MAYBE EVEN WHILE GETTING A FALAFEL AT OASIS IN BROOKLYN? SOMETIMES MY EXACT MEMORY ESCAPES ME. EITHER WAY, HE IS A GREAT PERSON AND RAPPER/PRODUCER WHO HAS SET UP SOME LEGENDARY JUICEBOXXX WESLEYAN RAGERS IN THE PAST AND PRODUCED TRAX FOR THE LIKES OF DAS RACIST AND SPANK ROCK.

LE1F HAS A NEW RAP MIXTAPE OUT CALLED “DARK YORK” AND IT IS FUCKING BLAZING. A COMBO OF SELF-PRODUCED CUTS AND COLLABOS WITH HEADS LIKE NGUZUNGUZU AND BOODY, IT DISPLAYS A MASTERY OF IT’S INFLUENCES AND OF COURSE, SICK RAPPING.

JUMPING BETWEEN STYLES BUT ALL ROOTED IN FUTURISTIC NEW YORK RAP, I CAN’T RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH FOR ALL YOU KIDS OUT THERE TRYING TO GET LOOSE TO SOME NEXT LEVEL PARTY MUSIC. STREAM THAT SHIT OVER AT THE FADER RIGHT HERE. GO!
