L.E. FOR THE UNCOOL – THE MEASURE

L.e For The Uncool drops his 2nd official project entitled The Measure, which features Naledge (Kidz In The Hall), Truck North, The 3rd, & others. Executive Produced by L.e & Rashad “$haddy Tee” Thomas. After checking out Lifestyle Excessiveness (f/ Naledge) I felt privy to a lyrical lean from L.E. that I didn’t fully know he possessed after his first big joint that got buzz around my way, “Polo On My Body“. Check out the track below, then download this joint and hit the jump for the track listing. Indulge!
