C. LEON

“When the lion roars the whole jungle trembles…”C. Leon was born October 17, 1984 in Toronto, Canada. He was raised in the notorious Lawrence Heights community, known to many around the city as “Jungle.” With recollections of his up bringing, alongside the current issues he and others face around him vivid tales and images are often painted. With a message in the music, C. Leon plans to introduce all to his concrete jungle."Hip Hop is the voice of the people. As emcees I think it’s our jobs to bring real issues to the table. The positive and the negative,” says C. Leon. This overall theme can be heard throughout the music. Drawing inspiration from his surroundings, it makes the message so much more real. From seeing family members incarcerated to the deaths of close friends, music almost serves as therapy. In a music he feels that is very one-sided, he plans to give the full spectrum of life growing up as a young man in today’s society.Working on music seriously for the past 4 years, it’s hard to say that C. Leon is just another “rapper.” His music is who he is; he almost walks you through periods in his life in every song. “People can relate to my music. You don’t have to be a rapper to understand emotions.” His musical influences include, the late Notorious BIG, Jay-Z, Juvenile, Phil Collins, Wu-Tang, and countless other R&B greats. Like those artists he hopes to give people music they can grasp and almost live out for years to come.Producer, consultant, and entrepreneur are some of the other titles C. Leon takes on. Having made beats for artists such as St. Laz, Aristo, Hustlemann, The Corps and The Offense (a super-group he is also a part of) couldn’t hurt his entry into the industry as a producer. As one of the founding members of Battleground Entertainment, C. Leon serves as a party planning consultant in Toronto’s very competitive party and promotions industry. Battleground Entertainment has worked with some of the biggest clubs in Toronto; such as The Docks, Kool Haus, and Sin City. Lastly, taking business in his own hands is nothing new for C. Leon. He opened Commitee Recordings, an independent music group that will release and distribute his future promotional material. The music group also includes such acts as El Nino, and The Commitee who consists of C. Leon, El Nino, Choice and Rev. C. Leon has sold over 20,000 units worldwide and has worked alongside industry heavyweights such as Dj Kid Capri, Dj Whoo Kid, Dj G-Spot, Stone Love, Mobb Deep, and 112 and countless others.C. Leon is the new generation of Hip Hop that needs to be heard. This young man’s no play attitude and work ethic can only be an asset to his already well-rounded skill.
