Black Lantern combine the jailbreak dreamscapes of Springsteen, the dearly departed naivety of early Radiohead and the shot-gun pop of Cheap Trick.

CHECK OUT: Wes Stevens thoughts on companies like Voices.com and a link to an article you will want to read!

Wes Stevens: Some new insights from the ugly world of P2P auditioning (articles is from 2016). Interesting days ahead: “They have essentially taken over the job of a talent agent, and are NOT treating their talent according to the principles true talent agencies do. In the process, they are putting real talent agencies at risk – the real workers who fight for the talent. It has to stop.”

Don’t Take Anything Personally Don’t Make Assumptions. Always Do Your Best .live as if you knew tomorrow is your last day.
Think love is needed. No! Know love is needed. 

My photography is often about another art forum a physical one like skating or aggressive inline skating. Other times it takes on another forum like portraits or people in candid situations . As of late my direction has taken a slightly different direction with more landscape involved and areas Unseen in city like areas , something like finding an oasis in the desert . The most delightful feeling is when I see and know I need to capture that place or person or situation and then manage to do it .

As a kid going on school field trips and even at home looking at the history channel and many other media. I have seen the work of many artist and all I wanted to do was create images the way they did . Let it be known i'm not a good painter. But much later in life I found out I have an eye for photography . At that point I decided to look and see what photography really is . Ever since I was 17. I knew how to capture images but not art. 

When out with my camera it's more then just point and click . I can't say anyone will love what I shoot. But the same goes I can't say anyone will hate what's in front of them either. Saying my purposes is to inspire is not enough. I want to giveback to what feeds the inner desire to shoot. People hold many characteristics within them. I enjoy seeing which once I can draw out of them during a session.

When skating it's not about the area its about the skater and his trick or tech as it's called. As I progress as a photographer so shall my skate images, and my ability to capture difficult situations under the gun .

What started out as a hobby became something more . At one point shooting was a way to escape dangerous skating situations kinda of like hiding behind a friend but now can say for sure Photography was my best friend now it's my blood .

I am brand loyal I must be . I use a Nikon D50 . I have a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm Nikon lens, Nikon Speed Light SB-28DX. One tripod and yes I travel with a Tenba camera bag and a Lowepro . I also have a15” MacBookPro 5,4 Spyder 3 express , Sekonic L-358 , CS4 extended, picas for Brain Storming. When at party's I get an area set for me so I can shoot without interruptions . If you can't tell .Yes I love photography….

"L&S" (Leddie & Smoggy) are an Independent Hip Hop duo from Middlesbrough.

The duo is comprised of female MC and beatmaker "Leddie" and male MC "Smoggy" whom met while attending Middlesbrough College in 2005. Prior to the pair becoming a duo, both MC's were members in the Middlesbrough based, 6 piece Hip Hop group - "Norf n Lights". The group performed at regular events in and around the North East of England, supporting the likes of Stig of the Dump and Dr Syntax, Manage and Conflix, Foreign Beggars and DJ Fever from the Nottingham Hip Hop group - Out Da Ville. Norf n Lights released a number of tracks together, as well as a self titled Mixtape late 2006 before coming to an early end in late 2007.

The duo (L&S) originally formed to perform at "The Peoples Army" launch party Jan '08, supporting the likes of - Logic and Lowkey, English Frank, Mic Righteous and UK Hip Hop veteran Chester P of Taskforce. 

Their debut album [Sorry We're Late… ] aims to reconcile their individual music passions; fusing Hip Hop with elements of soul and blues with alliteration and machine gun etiquette rap. They have played on bills alongside artists such as - Devlin, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, Mongrel (Comprised of Lowkey, Jon McClure, Andy Nicholson, Drew McConnell) and the King Blues – Reviewed as ‘the best live band in Britain’ by Kerrang Magazine, to UK Hip Hop legends; Lowkey, Logic, Skinnyman, Chester P (Taskforce). Though most of 2011/12 was concerned with creating the debut album; “L&S” have brought their unique and ‘razor sharp comment in their alliteration and breakneck delivery’ to countless audiences around the country, headlined Hip Hop event's at various venues around Middlesbrough, performed at Middlesbrough’s largest and most respected live venues such as Middlesbrough Arena and Middlesbrough Empire, and performed At Newcastle's Evolution Festival, 2010.

November 2009 saw the duo’s debut online release ‘The Calm Before the Storm’ mix CD which has had over 5000 downloads since its release in Nov ‘09, gaining support from premier Hip Hop sites such as StandUpUK, RagoMagazine and UKrunnings. Leddie has appeared on a number of Mix CD's which have been released on digital outlets, featuring alongside the likes of Logic, Lowkey, Genesis Elijah, Sway, Wordsmith, BigCakes and SuparNovar. She also had her collaboration with Logic and Lowkey (F The Feds from the “Calm Before the Storm” Mix CD) being included within a countdown of the top 100 UK Hip Hop tracks to ever be released, and the "UK Rap Chronicles" presented by UK Runnings. Their free download track "Part of the Process", released early January 2011 was featured on the DJ Ames "International Hustle UK Edition" hosted by the legendary MysDiggi (Formally known as Mystro) of Natural Born Spittaz.

May 2012 saw Leddie become the first female MC, as well as the first MC from the North East of England to be tagged into the online Cypher known as RapperTagUK (Hosted by Hoochinoo). Leddie was 'Tagged' by UK Hip Hop veteran - Genesis Elijah, she went on to tag her partner in rhyme - Smoggy. The online Cypher (Rappertag) was originally conceptualised by the Australian Hip Hop artist - 360. The rules are that an MC is invited into the online cypher by the MC that was tagged before them - ONLY when they are invited into the cypher are they welcome to show off their skills and lyrical ability.

Indeed, support for the duo has come from many different places in the media with features from local newspapers to worldwide Hip Hop websites, blogs and forums. Not forgetting interviews on airwaves such as the BBC, Community and University Radio, as well as an international range of internet radio shows, and underground Hip Hop specialists. Maybe it's not such a surprise that the pair’s fan base is so varied, from general music fans to UK Hip Hop veterans. Both make music from their heart and soul; never forgetting emotion, mysticism or struggle when creating their work in a ‘technically impressive’ manner. 

Jan 8th, 2013 will see the duo's first single - "Walk the Line" release from their upcoming album - "Sorry We're Late…" scheduled to drop within the 2nd quarter of 2013. 

Quotes About Leddie And Smoggy 

"This Middlesborough duo are another in a line of acts bringing a social awareness back to UK Hip Hop. Throughout this process we’ve seen a lot of issues-based Urban tunes but this one hit the mark for us for it’s sheer exuberance and passion" - MTV Brand New (On Equals)

"A duo that consists of a female & male MC. Leddie & Smoggy are a rap collective that takes us back to the early beginnings of Hip Hop; when people rapped about issues that mattered to them. Days when rap was people’s way of expressing their feeling and emotions. Their track ‘Equals’ is very hard-hitting and yet it’s reminds us of what music use to be about. We love that fact that they’re bringing old’ skool to the new generation" - (1613) New Wave District

"What can I say about Leddie and Smoggy? Well the only thing that upsets me about the 'Calm Before the Storm' mixtape is the fact I had to wait so long for it!! They not only have a world of skill but also more integrity, honesty and heart than any artist in the UK scene today. Once again...Peoples Army Salute!!" - Genesis Elijah 

"Her conscious mind, unbeatable flow, intellectual observations and magnetic personality all make her one of the top female MCs to spit on this little Island we call Britain in a long, long time." - Nino @ BritishHipHop.com 

"Leddie and Smoggy is a female/male hip hip duo from Boro that draw their influences from the UK and the local rather than New York. They shy away from the commercial and instead home in on the real issues. There is plenty of local and wider political confrontation and razor sharp comment in their alliteration and breakneck delivery. Very impressive" - Robert Nichols 

"Leddie and Smoggy are every inch Teesside and their urban music is now starting to hit targets further afield around the UK - it certainly did at the conference. They give the commercial hip-hop sounds a wide berth and instead plough their own furrow - or furrows, because Leddie's alliteration is quite different to Smoggy's machine gun etiquette rap. They blend well, however, and that is the trick. I'm delighted to report that things could be really starting to take off for the male/female duo who are suddenly being talked about widely in music circles. The forthcoming album might just put them (and Teesside) on the map." - Robert Nichols

"Peace keep doin your thing hip hop lives ..." - Scorzayzee (UKHH veteran)

"Wierdest Hip Hop combo ever, but it f*cking works. If you don’t trust me, I’ll give you some audio proof tomorrow." - ThisIsHipHop

Through the lights, cameras, and action glamour glitters and gold
I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe
When I’m deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast
To conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets
Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
Trick my wisdom with the system that imprisoned my son

In a flash of bright, colorful, iridescent light The Electric Boa don't just 
remind you of all things rock, they ARE all things rock - now, yesterday and 
tomorrow. At once raw, uncut, sophisticated and artful, while you dance your 
ass off with arms raised throwin' some metal. Born of the Depression of '08, 
The Electric Boa reminds you that while all around may be collapsing, you've 
at least got immediately classic tunes to sing along with and that only 
rock-n-fuckin' roll matters, anyway. A monochrome world has just been hit 
with Technicolor, glitter and raw power at 140 db's.

There are no homages in their music. They use classic rock like bricks to 
build their mansion, like Shakespeare used words. How could there not be 
Bowie, the Stooges, Priest, Aerosmith, The Faces and Cheap Trick in the 
mortar? As in all seminal music, they renew and reinvent what came before. 
Not just as new kind of gun, The Electric Boa's music is a laser beam fired 
at point-blank range.

Led by their iconic front man, Higgsy, a sinewy, whirling candy man singing 
prose of the underside of the American dream, every line and chord of The 
Electric Boa is as cinematic as a David Lynch film while astoundingly pure 
in heart-felt love. There's no hope because that implies passiveness - they 
DO, they TAKE, they CELEBRATE and unblinkingly hold it close. Drive through 
the landscape at 120 mph in your '72 Eldorado, top down, with nothing but 
power chords lingering in your vapor trail. 

Ladies and gentlemen...from Philadelphia, PA...The Electric Boa!
