"Lef?" is a rap artist, songwriter, and producer. As a rap artist, he may fit into certain genres, but his sound is not as easily defined. He creates based on his many musical influences and the feeling he wants to invoke from the listener.
“Lef?” is a DMV (DC Maryland and Virginia) native but, by taking every performance opportunity he could find, he was able to establish a core listenership that spands outside of the DMV. He maintains an audience in North Carolina, Texas, New York and the Phillipines. "Lef?'s" drive and determination led to performing at multiple collegiate events held at North Carolina A&T State University, UNC-Greensboro and North Carolina Central University, including the North Carolina A&T Aggie Fan Fest and the UNC-Greensboro event Artistic X-Pression. Lef? has also performed at several unique festivals and showcases across North Carolina and Maryland. Such events include the Cultura Fest 2018/19, Sideline Images Art Fest, Phree Space Fest the Greensboro Food Truck Festival and as of June 2021, an official museum exhibit in the Greensboro History Museum.
Aside from being a solo act, "Lef?" produces, writes and actively collaborates with local talents through out the east coast. There's a saying that "Lef?" holds in high regard, "you can move fast alone or move far together," He began writing, arranging, and producing for other artists in 2019, not only to challenge himself but to build with others. Within the same year, "Lef?" started hosting and curating events like the Mood Asf, a weekly open mic, and The Blackout art and music festival.
Emerging DMV producer/artist Lef? caught our ears with his production and rap skills on his new release titled “5-10-21.” The self-produced beat has a warm and relaxing vibe that allows the rapper to deliver a smooth bravado-laden performance.

AJ: What do you feel like you bring to hip hop and is there anything that you feel that hip hop today is lacking or needs more of?
Lef: I don’t feel like hip-hop is lacking anything. Initially I wanted to say there’s a lack of variety, but there isn’t, there’s just too much emphasis on the same type of sound. I think I bring content that stands out from the repetitive sound that’s flooding the market.
