Laelo’s new sound took his
career to a new level. People
all across the World Wide
Web started to pay close attention
to what the rapper would
do next. What he did surprised
everyone! Laelo for personal
reasons, he took almost a year
off from music not dropping a
new music until 2012.

two years off he sounds
battle ready and re-charged

“Lifers Never Die” has been
branded Laelo’s most mature
piece of work. He credits his

Washington, DC looking for
a fire spitting MC to grace the
A3C tenth anniversary stage
in Atlanta, GA. The competilifers
never die
tion was thick with each artist
that graced the stage putting
on stellar performances. However
at the end of the night
Laelo was crowned the victor
and invited to perform during
the A3C Festival.
An opportunity like A3C
mean Laelo will be able to
expose his slightly aggressive
style with a marijuana influenced
vibe to one of the biggest
hip-hop festivals in the
country.
Laelo has vowed to “first
and foremost KILL every
stage that I touch! Gain new
fans. Then after that, build
working relationship that
can help me move my career
forward. Also, sell some merchandise
and spread the word
about my brand. As well as
put on the best show possible
and put on for his city, Washington,
DC.
Laelo makes all kinds of
hip-hop music. He speaks
on his real life experiences
in records hoping to inspire,
encourage or simply help
someone get by. That’s why
his new album is titled “Deeper
Than Plenty, Higher Than
Most.” That title embodies
Laelo as an artist. He loves
hip-hop. And needs the industry
to embrace he is not a
rookie. Having dropped his
first album in 2006. The grind

win. People are starting to
pay attention. Do not be left
