Sign Us Up featuring Dertz - this track explains the position I am currently in given that I have been "going HAM" for my city for the longest and yet everything I have achieved has been off of my own perseverance; and nothing else. The title itself is a statement in all actuality "Sign Us Up", pay attention to the fact that Oxford has some serious talent and I hope that I can be the catalyst to allow the next generation of rappers from Oxford to find their way in the music industry.

Sign Us Up

Sign Us Up (Explicit)

2021 I had to slow down a lot of the stuff I was doing and become more understanding and catering to myself as a human being and a musician. I’m fully grateful to my followers and listeners on streaming platforms you lot are amazing for keeping me afloat. Big love to all my supporters ESPECIALLY them mad ones who catch me in restaurants and places where I’m doing up family time and slip in a lil “Yo! When’s the new music coming?!” 🤣 you lot are legendary ❤️

This one here is a statement to the industry with a couple of name drops! I want my props! 😉 inspired by @50cent “Life’s on the Line” 

OUT 04/12/2021 (Saturday) PREORDER/PRESAVE NOW

#NOSYMPATHYFORWINNERS

Pretend (Explicit)

The inspiration for the track comes the environment created in music and it always seems to be confrontational and a battle uphill. When it comes to success for anyone who is attaining any level of it, it tends to come with some resentment; especially from those who feel that they are considered competition. The fact of matter is there’s No Sympathy For Winners in this game.

Hennessy & Jealousy

Normalise is Leonidas 3rd release of 2022 and talks about imposter syndrome in its entirety. Leonidas aims to "Normalise Normal Lives" by detailing a journey relating to himself and a majority of the people he's known in his community where they have had times or currently undergoing circumstances which lead the individual into a fictitious way of thinking about how they should or be expected to carry themselves in the eyes of the public and society.

Normalise (explicit)

Cap & Gown is a play on words and a metaphor which represents the stereotype that comes with being from Oxford which suggests Oxonian’s are privileged and educated at Oxford University.

Despite Leonidas being educated he is far from privileged and aims a missile at those who have this misconception.

Cap refers to the people who are lying (cappin') and Gown focuses on the attire of those who the lyrics are emasculating.

The song features homage lyrics to Kanye West, “Can’t tell me Nothin'” from the Graduation album “see I already graduated and you can live through anything if Magic made it”.

Cap & Gown

BREATHE is a mantra, a focus on mental health over a Drill beat.
Inspired by: M1llionz, Abra Cadabra

MANIFEST

PRAY is a flip Drill song. The genre is Gospel Drill with my own twist. Featured on BBC Radio Introducing and BBC Radio 1Xtra with DJ Target.
Inspired by: Chip, Hope Dealers

PRAY

The opening track for my EP Grown Apart, the first volume of a 2 part series; Grown Up Art (coming soon).

This is a freestyle; or Paystyle as mentioned in the track. The subject matter of the song captures the essence of the EP which is how I’ve Grown Apart from certain situations, lifestyles, and my previous self; I am forever Growing Apart from yesterdays self.

Grown Apart

Grown Apart (Radio Edit)

With a mixture of UK Rap, Jazz, and Afro, this song explains my take on the Stereotypical stakeholders in and around the industry and culture.

The song itself took a long time to write because there was a lot of subjects and content I wanted to provide whilst maintaining the beauty of the live instruments played throughout the track. 

I touch on some of the contradictions between artists and other contributors lifestyles, comparing what they’re doing with what they THINK they’re doing in their lives.

Stereo's Typical

The Stereo’s Typical (Radio Edit)

The Process is a mantra to myself and others who experience some of the hardships due to external factors in life which are out of our control. 

For context, I talk about the music industry in the first verse and how with very minimal help, support and resources I’ve managed to reach some of the heights of the biggest platforms in the UK, by trusting the process.

The second verse starts by saying “first of all I’d like to tell you F a 9-5”. This verse is extremely real and relevant for me where “I’ve worked twice as hard in life to achieve half as much” achieving 2 degrees, working in some important roles for some of the biggest companies in the world, having a solid portfolio and CV which is disregarded for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes, the way I look, the place I live, the environment I’ve grown up in, my association with people and music; can end up working against me and limit my opportunities in a working or corporate environment. 

“The systemic systematic proves to me that life is F***ed” but I still trust the process.

The Process

The Process (Radio Edit)

Insidious - “Something that is insidious is unpleasant or dangerous and develops gradually without being noticed.” 

This song discusses subjects including my belief in spirituality but being open to other faiths and religions to support me in my battle with mental health.

I didn’t always believe mental health with a real thing but this unpleasant and dangerous personality disorder developed without being noticed.

Insidious

Insidious (Radio Edit)

Certain Man the final track and lead single of the Grown Apart EP. I took inspiration from like a Tion Wayne on an Afroswing beat, a Kano like flow. 

The song talks about failed relationships between brotherhood’s, friends and peers; all due to external factors, hatred and jealousy “even Jesus has Judas”.

So far the song has landed a spot on the BBC Radio Introducing show.

Certain Man

Certain Man (Radio Edit)

When UK Hip-Hop & Dancehall collide! I woke up one day feeling hella old school and it was only right to write to one of Dancehall's most renowned riddims of the 90s...

Love Story(Kyoto)

4am in Oxford

4am in Oxford [ Drake - 4am in Calabasas Remix ] { Oxford’s Very Own OVO }

The one person I looked up to…someone I considered a role model (he probably didn’t know this)…we went through a lot…we were forced through even more…but thats life…we stuck together through thick and thin…but one day that all changed…why…? I don’t know…but…as they say…sometimes the ones you love the most…are the ones that hurt the hardest.
