About Me


"I spit it real thats my marketing strategy-mind like a tech that release automaticlly"
The Massachusetts born Bay Area, California breed lyrist best known as The L.E.F.T. (Letting Energy Freely Transmit) truly encompasses all the essential elements vital to the artform of emceeing. One listen to any rhythmic pattern blessed by The L.E.F.T. leaves no question on why he's regarded as one of the most dynamic up and coming artist in the rap world. Lefty was scooped up at the age of 17 by Style Misia , co-founder of the South Bay groundbreaking quartet Daysmen Empire. The two instantly clicked & a working relationship was birthed. By weeks end Misia took Lefty to buy a Tascam analog 8-track recorder along with a $25 Shure microphone & gave him his old mic stand with a home made popper stopper along with a batch of beats to develop his style to. Around this same time, Leftys continous home issues along with chronic depression were beginning to take their toll. At the time he was enrolled in the 10th school he had attended & was renting rooms from place to place when he finally dropped out of high school to pursue music as a career.
He would furnish material quickly & hit the block hard with the hand-to-hand hustle in tradtion of the Bay Area Hustlers (Too short, E-40, Living Legends etc..) that came before him. After experincening exposure on local airwaves with the release of the 12" Demonstration with the now defunct New Moon crew & the South Bay emcee collective Constylations, The L.E.F.T. would take that momentum & drop his independent solo debut album entitled Rule by the People. Teamed up with Chicago native producer Dextah , Lefty executive produced a cohesive album, which also featured production by Style Misia & Henboogie of the Bay Area's legendary Dereliks crew. After the local praise received from the release of Rule by the People, Lefty quickly became a hot free agent & without hesitation signed with the independent upstart label D&C records which Style Misia was co-CEO of. They immediately went to work on the "heavily leaked, however, never officially released due to partnership/financial issues" record entitled The Gangland EP. With Style Misia exclusively handling the production duties The L.E.F.T. fully came into his own on the Mic & separated himself from the pack. After the label fallout Misia retained the rights to the D&C name & Lefty filled the vacancy of co-CEO of D&C records.
To Launch their independent campaign D&C teamed up with the Sacramento based Evolution music to drop the limited edition split 7"(blue) which featured the hustlers anthem "The grind" (remix) b/w Style Misia's "Die another day" which is now a vinyl collector favorite. The L.E.F.T. recently reunited with his long time partner in rhyme Piseas to create the groundbreaking duo Bash Bros. Whose debut entitled Everyday along with subsequent vinyl release "the Session" feat. Planet Asia b/w "Dirty work" is currently tearing shit up on hip-hop's international stage. Armed with the seasoned production of Dextah & Style Misia which accompanies the polished chemistry between the two lyricists ensures that everytime the Bash Bros step to the plate its a sureshot. Continuing to feed to his propelling street buzz, The L.E.F.T. releases his "Not to be fucked with" mixtape entitled Gangland-the Mixtape vol. 2 along with the Bash Bros. street album Bastard kidz vol. 1. With no signs of slowing down & a new album on the way (Dirty work) Lefty is geared to solidify his star quality in the hip-hop game.
