NL: "so what is the main thing they need to know about you, leon?"
"... that i'm an extremely passionate cat. most people dont understand that. they dont understand giving life to music, or a dancefloor... those that do understand, respect and acknowledge the me for it. i would rather be spittin' on the mic, or bboyin' and dancin', than doin what i do on a day to day basis, but in life - great things take time to manifest... so here i am..."
NL: "what style of hiphop would you say your style is?"
"...it's a mix of several styles. mostly: canibus, mf doom, large professor, mos def, and rakim. those are the most influential pieces to my own style. i love a lot of emcees and groups, sh-t, i could probably not only name but sing the lyrics to more than half the hiphop songs you know! but, when it comes to my personal style, that's who i would say it runs with..."
NL: "what do you talk about in your lyrics?"
"...everything. i talk about emotions, life, reality, my dreams, your dreams. i talk about you! i talk about myself... and i do it in the most lyrical way, but in a way to where you can understand me."
NL: "what's this i've heard about cussing/swearing on tracks?"
"...what? you mean because i dont?"
NL: "...well, yeah - moreso, why is that important to you?"
"...well, i try to keep my mouth clean. music is all about emotion, so i may throw somethin in there. but, i realize that when i was a kid, and i was listenin to rakim, that i realized how ill he was without cussin' throughout his verses. it stuck with me. i want kids to listen and be educated..."

be w/ my lyrical content. it's where you can delve deeper into
the mind of the Pro, and see exactly what i think. some may have to
step up their levels of comprehension. others will feel right at
home. this is about all the issues, thoughts, observations
of life and how they fit into my hiphop..." -- the professional.
Not enough heart, double up that triple bypass //
They walk around scared – all the nerves get the best of ‘em //
Aint right so they get left like goin west again //
Called up my doughy homie Joey //
He says I’m cold cuz I never flow bologna //
That when I spit they say holy like Jahovy //
In it for the props and earned amounts of stacks solely //
Leavin cats green like guacamole //
Rhymes cannot console me why I call my tenderoni //
Write a sexy message and I send it thru my phony //
So I can bend her w/ pleasure, tax it like she owe me //
Master at shinobi, so I control the game //
Mic control insane, kills but might get paroled again //
For committing murder w/ the word device //
Bourbon, sprite, these verbs at nite, the Pro’s nice. //
