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!

YAY OR NAY: THE 3RD

Hailing from Cleveland, OH, The 3rd is a five-member group (Rashad, Pa.Flex, Co City, Shakes and Blaksmif) which aims to think outside the box and have their music reflect their train of thought. I’ll let them tell it:

1979 was a long time ago. But ever since that time we have heard every kind of flow. Some will stay, some will go, but what you should know?? The test of times are written just so we can grow. From bible scriptures to the life that we live everyday, The 3rd is the voice of the people that get pushed away. From back streets to big stages, battle tested and war ready.
