The LEL Brothas have rapidly gained international exposure by bringing not only music, but an entire movement to the industry. From early success with the "Fresh out the Root" album in early 2007 to "The Epidemic" in early 2010, the LEL Brothas have shown versatility with their music. In late 2011, the LEL Brothas made history by being the first Hip Hop group to ever perform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a closed country that usually does not allow public concerts of non-Saudi music.
The meaning of the acronym "LEL" is the key focus of the press and fans alike, sparked by the fact that it has yet to be disclosed by the group (although at times playfully referenced). In the 2011 album "The Epidemic," LBC references LEL by saying "Quit asking what LEL means, it drives me insane/if I told you the secret, it would blow out your brain."
Although the true meaning has not been released, DJ Clone often teases the media and fans by stating "Come to a show and find out!"
The LEL Brothas originally formed in 2006 and had three members which included DJ Clone, Brotha Fletch and Big Lee. While recording their debut album "Fresh out the Root" the LEL Brothas were signed by producer Wade Martin to JWM Records. Sometime after "Fresh out the Root" was released in 2007 the groups members changed. DJ Clone was still in the group along side a new member to the group,LBC.The musical style and delivery of The LEL Brothas changed with the addition of LBC.
The LEL Brothas topped the internet charts and local radio charts within Arizona with the "Fresh out the Root" album. In 2010, the LEL Borthas released their second album "The Epidemic." The LEL Brothas movement, also known as "The LEL Nation," encourages fans to dress as zombies and attend shows showing they have been assimilated into the LEL Nation. The LEL Brothas seem to follow a virus theme that drives their music and will define their future albums.
