Where it all started:
LEP quickly established a respectable name for themselves. They had an undeniable stage presence at local shows an took no prisoners in any rap battle or free style cipher. At the time LEP consist of two talented emcees emerging from Chicago's deadly Ickies projects. Count 1 half of LEP was know as the muscle and stick up man with the ability to verbally strong arm or lyrically rob even assassinate any one that stood in his way. Larro or "Lil Lar" to most made up the other half. He was known as the street hustler with a "by any means necessary" intense delivery and menacing swagg. The streets consider them as the quintessence of what the hood represents in Chicago, an thus eagerly embraced them.
While LEP was enjoying there new found celebrity, Moonie who happen to be the 1st official artist to signed to Infared Music Group, would spend epic days and nights in the studio. At this time Rugg who is a family member of count’s would also come by and participate in countless rap battles and free style show downs. Though LEP was an establish group with a large street following, healthy competition had them all working on solo projects, which intern created the development of The Bogus Boys.
TUFF TIMES:
2001 brought much trial an tribulations to the LEP BOGUS BOYS family, Ronald “Law” Colverson tragically lost his life in the deadly streets of Chicago. Meanwhile Moonie was serving time in the state penitentiary. With vital members gone the LEP BOGUS BOYS had lost the momentum they had worked so hard for.
Upon Moonie's release, E was determined to put the company back together an achieve success. Just as things where coming together The LEP BOGUS BOYS family would take yet another major loss. In 2006 Laronson “Larro” Kellum also tragically lost his life to the deadly streets of Chicago.
THE REBIRTH:
Thou these heart wrenching lost may have stopped most people, The LEP BOGUS BOYS used there music as away to shed light on the harsh realities of how diabolical the streets can be. The LEP BOGUS BOYS have shown that gangbang music doesn’t always mean you promote violence, but they do however, maintain consistency in communicating through their lyrics that they are from the streets and have lived through the tough crime life.
The LEP BOGUS BOYS exemplifies the fact that all regions of America have had their chance to shine and now its Chicago’s and the Midwest's turn to make their mark in hip hop.

How many times am I going to allow it
Baby mama allowance

Baby mama I got you
Promise to pray to star
And I'll give you a rock
I got a permanent spot on the card
Make a hit then it drops
Woah you gotta know
Talking shit I don't care yeah
Diamonds is dancing
Known to go off on a tangent
So don't be pissing me off you see
Wouldn't mind dragging em all
We just chill with em cordially
Or ra chifta

You wanna kick it
Toxic masculinity under attack you feeling me
Gap is filling me
The bag utility
None of my past can hinder me
I thought you realest you killing me dawg
Popping my pill again chilled as a monk
Draw the line in the sand
The game is the palm of my hands
It's what you do with power
When you were dropping
Drop it drop it
It's what you do with power
When you were dropping
The lyrics to L.E.P. Bogus Boys' song GINGER describe a night spent with a lover in Saint Tropez. The singer talks about dancing in the rain, mixing dreams with reality, and the extravagance that comes with living in the moment. As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is not just interested in a one-night stand; they want to fly with their partner, both literally and metaphorically. They long to escape the masks and restraints of everyday life and live their dreams to the fullest.
The lyrics also touch on the shallowness of modern society, with references to Instagram models and OnlyFans. The singer values their connection with their partner over superficial accolades, and seeks to build a life filled with excitement and passion. The imagery is sensual and exotic, with mentions of satin sheets and champagne, but there is also a sense of longing and escapism that pervades the song.
Overall, GINGER is a romantic and dreamy song that invites listeners to indulge in their wildest desires, and to seek out meaningful connections in an increasingly superficial world.

Faremo peccato senza mangiare più le Mele
We'll sin without eating apples anymore
