So, what’s up Leitroleion? What’s on your mind? What's good just vibin thinking of a way I can be great and do great things.
Tell us everything about your track ‘Lil Ghettos Boi’s. The track is a take on Donny Hataway's 1972 release of Little Ghetto Boy which has the same message as then. My take is a fresh modern spin on what's happening in the ghetto still to this day. It's one of those tracks that give the youth hope so they don't have to follow the norms of the Ghetto.
When did you start writing music? I have been writing music for over 25 years but taking it seriously over the last 8 years.
Who would you say is your biggest inspiration? My biggest inspiration in life is God then I would have to say, my late grandfather
Can you remember the first album that you bought? The first album I brought was Michael Jackson's Thriller.
You produced ‘Lil Ghetto Boi’s’ track yourself. What would you say that you are most proud of on this track? Being able to give the youth hope to show them there are more ways out here to get money other than in these streets.
What are your hopes for your future? I hope to one day not only help but also inspire millions to come together for a better way for all of us.
Do you have plans for the rest of 2022? Live shows, new releases, etc? Yes, I have a lot of unreleased tracks that are set to drop in the near future. I also have my first album ready just trying to build up the hype for Leitroleion before we release it. I also have an EP that will drop sometime in August with about four or five tracks just to give the people a taste. I don't have any live show plans but I am open to any booking request that comes my way.
