LE$ is one half of the braintrust and brand that is D.I.O.S (did it ourselves), with partner Jorgey, but built that momentum first with a unique sound and rap career.

Previously being party of Curren$y's "Jet Life," and Slim Thug's "Boss Hog Outlawz," Le$ first burst on the scene during the "Blog Era" with the help and Twitter amplification of DJ Mr. Rogers back in 2009. Since then, the two formed a solid collaborative friendship and partnership, dropping his Steak x Shrimp series, and now on his 23-in-a-row (and more to come) mixtape series.
