Album Notes

Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, Toronto emcee More or Les combines intelligent rhymes with funk instrumentals and bombastic beats. According to Curbside Mag, "energetic, smooth, witty and comical are just some words that can be used to describe Les' flow."

A special edition including his new video for A Little Too Much Weed and a remix of Comedy hit the streets February 18th, 2004.
