Lef?

Lef Eye, is one of the three members of the music collective The Lost. The Lost are artists that use their eclectic taste in music, style, and view of the world to produce greatness. Lef is influenced by a wide range of artists like Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000, Kanye West and Childish Gambino, to name a few. Lef uses the influences to create his own style and showcases his abilities in his latest project Juice EP.

We previously featured Lef Eye’s “Delusions” on our Soundcloud page with wide acclaim. Lef Eye’s Juice EP displays his unique approach to hip hop. The EP contains the same wide array of lyrics as his previous Throw Aways EP, however Juice displays a much more refined body of work from the young emcee. Lef steps away from traditional trap style beats and substitutes the backing tracks with more deep atypical grooves displayed in tracks like “J. U. Ice (Get Down)” and “Kayo”. Lef’s lyrics show an artist that is socially self aware and sure in his hip hop footing. The DC area native blends a silky smooth delivery with political undertones to make for a rock solid EP.

AJ: What do you feel like you bring to hip hop and is there anything that you feel that hip hop today is lacking or needs more of?

Lef: I don’t feel like hip-hop is lacking anything. Initially I wanted to say there’s a lack of variety, but there isn’t, there’s just too much emphasis on the same type of sound. I think I bring content that stands out from the repetitive sound that’s flooding the market - ArtsyJunkie
