Leek is an artist that was born to do this thing called hiphop. With a lineage of Costa Rican and African American descent, Leek embodies styles that encompass both heritages. His persona brings a different vibe to hiphop and rap. He's innovative; can sometimes come off as "thinking he's the S***"; but his swagger brings it all into focus. Hailing from Long Island, NY; LEEK projects a "New York state of mind",while giving you a taste of what Long Island can bring to the game. Not content with being on of those "cookie cut out rappers", who's only thought is to see how many guns or how much ice you can spit about, he knows "it doesn't take a genius to write the gun talk!" LEEK adds an old school thought process of writing and rhyming, to a new age rap game.
LEEK had heads catching his vibe at various shows in the Tri-state area. Opening performances at Syracuse University and other area colleges, with acts such as COMMON, MOS DEF, and JADAKISS, LEEK, has definitely honed his craft. With numerous appearances at Club Rare and the Pyramid Club (a weekly freestyle venue), he has earned the respect of his peers and has raised the bar each and every time he hit the stage! LEEK is a complete package, ready to make a major impact in this rap game.
