Artist Bio:  Born Thomas Klingensmith, Leland is a young, talented, and unique edition to the game. Coming out of the small city of Fort Myers, Florida, (The same city as Plies Hometown) He has been climbing his way up in the industry bringing new sounds and styles to the table. Starting at the age of 15, he began his career on the production side of music. Learning how to make beats plus mix and master vocals was only a hobby until he saw how much of a passion he had for it. Rapidly increasing in talent and consistency was only a drive behind his work ethic. Now the rapper is 18 and ready to take his career to the next level soon to bring to his fans music videos brought to you by HellBound Entertainment. Also he is on the look for a solid record label to give him a core ground to stand strong on. Young & Fly ,which you hear about often in his music, is what Leland Represents. Young & Fly is not a record label, or an entertainment company. It is strictly the able body combined of the musics fans, fellow artists and producers affiliated with him, and the music's sound itself. So what makes Leland different from the rest of the rappers in this world? Thats a Great question. The fact that Leland is not just a rapper or a musician at that, Leland is a full blown artist. All the music created by him is lived out through his life. Not only does he cover the Hard Hitting upbeat style music. He also gets his fans In touch with his current life. For instance from his most recent mixtape Crazy 8 the tracks "My Home" and "Broken Dreams" both bring big explanations of what he as an artist is experiencing throughout his daily life. Its not just music to Leland. Its the emotions, the passion, the drive, the race, the competition, the art, the lyrics, and the soul behind whats heard. For those who like RnB Leland also did his first RnB style track on Crazy 8. With the title "OverDoseYou" females be ready for a catchy sound and singing style that will have you caught up in the music and might make you put that on repeat. For those who like the more upbeat hard hitting style I encourage you to check out tracks from Crazy 8 such as "Defying Gravity" "Fort Myers" "Fortune Teller" and "StatBook". So if Leland the next big thing to come into hip-hop? Thats for you to decide once you listen to see for yourself.
