LE$ – E30 [LP]

The journey of one Le$, has come full circle. Born around a musical family in 1985 in New Orleans, Louisiana, he grew up in between Texas and Louisiana before moving to Houston for college, joined Slim Thug’s Boss Hogg Outlawz crew, dropped a relentless stream of mixtapes, and now his hard work is really paying off: After much underground success Le$ became the newest member of Curren$y’s Jet Life roster and after two years moved on to grow his own Steak and Shrimp imprint ($x$). By our count, Le$ has released 30 underground mixtapes over the last nine years—some featuring collaborations with the likes of Bun B, Big K.R.I.T., Dom Kennedy, Mac Miller, Chamillionaire, Stalley, Freddie Gibbs while others he reigns in all on his own with equal comfort—most of them to the acclaim of local press in Houston and the internet blogosphere. What’s the craziest part of all this? He’s just getting started.
