L as he's often called is honest, forthright, and dedicated to building the Hip-Hop community, the Black community, and the international community as a whole.

L has since been involved with innumerable political and social justice campaigns. L. James began his Hip-Hop lyrical career at 15 but brought it to an end at 20 to utilize his skills to strengthen his community in the areas that was lacking.

L has been featured in various publications such as the Source and XXL magazines for exposing MTV's disrespect for Hip-Hop and for his commitment to artist rights, Hip-Hop culture and universal health access.
