LRJ's reviews:

“Unbelievable talent!”
- My Texas Music

With his sophomore release entitled The Hang Over, LRJ is making his mark on the rap scene. With hits like Get Up Off Me, Filthy, and Ain’t Nothin’ 4 A Steppa, this LP is sure to be a classic. LRJ’s new CD has many other hits and special guest features that include: Say Whut, which is the first single off of the album, that features Ace Deuce & E-Rock (5th Ward Boys). This song is a huge club banger that will have you hooked and loving every minute of it. Also, The Old’ Hood, featuring the 3 time Houston Press Award winning group Drop Trio, is a politically-live jazz band recording that makes a strong statement about today’s youth, society, and old neighborhood ways.

Other special guest features include: The Southern Gladiators, Lil’ Deezy, Slimm L.O.C., Tony Rain, and many others. So if you are looking for something new that will keep your attention from track 1 to 17, then The Hang Over is the CD for you. LRJ is currently planning a tour for the rest of 2004 and most of 2005. Just as last year, LRJ will be performing at the SXSW Music Convention in Austin, TX and many other venues throughout this year and the following. Being a performer, songwriter, and producer LRJ has many skills that will allow him to succeed in this industry for a long time to come!

In the eyes of many, music is something that they like to listen and dance to. But for Leon Roberson Jr. a.k.a. LRJ, music is not only a career it’s a way of life. For LRJ, that life began on the rugged Eastside of Houston, TX. Throughout all of the adversities, LRJ attended the Art Institute of Houston where he studied video production, audio engineering, and script writing. LRJ graduated from the Art Institute of Houston in June of 1999.

In 1999, LRJ had a debut single entitled, Mentally Gentally Help Me Lord. The single was available in retail stores through limited release and sold out. In June of 2000, he released his second single T-E-X-A-S, which received local airplay and also sold out. In 2002, under Cinque Entertainment, LRJ released his debut album, Not of This World which sold over 2000 albums in local retail, Internet, and underground street sales. Because of that album, LRJ received street credibility as well as commercial success. LRJ then became a well-known writer, producer, and radio DJ for Houston’s own 90.1 KPFT.

In 2003, LRJ began to receive airplay on national and college radio, which nominated him for a performance at the world renowned SXSW Music Convention in Austin, TX. LRJ performs at many venues throughout Texas, Louisiana, Florida, etc. and maintains a solid fan base. In 2004 look for LRJ’s new CD entitled, The Hang Over. This album features other artists such as Drop Trio, Ace Deuce, E-Rock of the 5th Ward Boys, Slim LOC, Lil’ Deezy, the Southern Gladiators, and more! LRJ has many complete albums ready to distribute, so always check out the Cinque Entertainment website for more of LRJ’s upcoming performances and album releases!
