He talks about representing Houston rap culture despite being born in New Orleans as whole before going into how he met DJ Mr. Rogers, Slim Thug, Curren$y, forming the Steak x Shrimp brand as well as teaming up with Houston creative Jorgey to create the DIOS brand and a lot more. This is one of them ones with one of the new legends in the city!

LE$ deserves his flowers and the public appreciation is long overdue. Cheers to that man.

💯 one of my favs.

[@arickstewart6638]

Quick story: I was living in Japan. After you dropped Steak x Shrimp V3 I visited a local dive bar. I had the opportunity to choose a song to play and I chose 2 Smooth. The owner went crazy and asked who played the song. I said me, he went crazy and yelled, “I love LE$!” We became good friends and went on a LE$ playlist venture sharing our favorite tracks.

Le$, Propain, Freddie Gibbs, and Curren$y has remained on top of my Spotify list for years

[@josephchambersjr7208]

LE$ One of the best out of Houston... Keep dropping them classics.... This Texas Boy now living in Hawaii gonna keep buying em

[@dallasryder8125]

Discovered Le$ off early days of 2dopeboyz, listened to him during all my deployments in the Army and such, put so many of my Soldiers and international partners on the brother. All his catalog is diverse and the original "chill" that needs to recognized and given a nice ticket by the "chill rap" or just "chill music" playlists. My favorite tape is still E36, I can listen to "racing" until my funeral the whole time I was in young and broke with goals I was working to. Now a decade or so later I'm doing way better, got generational wealth with early military retirement, business thats been doing straight and so on. LE$ is a true legend and one of my Texas GOATs as a OG millenial.

[@sleepergs430]

This is crazy because this is literally me, same thing. Businesses going, retired vet, and I bump nothing but Le$, Spitta, June, Nip, and Payroll.

Beautiful Struggle was the first project I heard from LE$ back in 2010. Seeing how he's progressed and diversified over the years is dope

[@raymondbible8196]

Yes sir this will be classic! Been waiting for L-E-$ interview. Raw cones ready for this one!

[@PLAYANAWF]

E36 is the greatest Le$ tape of all time. Found it on datpiff strictly by the cover and it was bumpin from the first track. It was different car talk than Spitta or Stalley. Very unique sound. The mixtape version is the best one, not the stream one. Grand Turismo was dope af too.

Followed him back in the day because of the car scene.

[@joelsantos7991]

Le$ is so clean! Always hustling and learning from the og’s. Definitely on my top 3 on Spotify artist for a few years next to curren$y and Mac Miller. I remember a while back someone tried to roast my boy saying he looked like a chunky version of the game , and this man’s said,”it’s cause yo momma been feeding me too much “. That had me so weak 😂 much love le$. I know you said you fell like people haven’t been posing attention lately on the interview you did with jorgy in the “not so cool podcast”, but I get so Fucken hype when you drop new shit and I blast and share that shit with everyone. Keep at it, much love from LA. Can’t wait to see you live tho, I’ll be waiting for you to pull up to LA! Also the Banco ray show out here was sick✨🔥 keep grinding keep hustling, we gotta work work work till the booty squirt . Also much love to you also Donnie Huston . Appreciate what you do and hope the podcast continues for years to come.
