Leroy Hutson is a true legend. I would love to book him for a old school show does anybody how to contact him?
Leroy Hutson, is a legend.
Leroy Hutson is definitely very talented … but he should have waited till Jeezy sampled something and put it on his album because sampling off of a mixtape that you give out for free isnt gonna get you any money…. but you cant go wrong with @TheFlyBoyWay on Youtube, Instagram,SoundCloud and twitter.
