Hip Hop OG from Bed Stuy, L. Haggood, releases visuals for his latest single “Listen.” The track is produced by platinum 2x Grammy-nominated Haas G aka Fantom of the Beat.
Mentally unstable, his harsh truth and crass sarcasm aggressively flow over Fantom’s superb blend of soulful, gritty melodies and revolting basslines. L. Haggood is who he is and gets down how he gets down regardless of what others think or say. “Suckers is too much of an easy word I got other nouns, and adjectives, and action verbs…”. His complexity is refreshing as he commands audiences to feel his raw emotion. Watch the video for “Listen” and connect below.

world. Because as they say, Nothing Last Forever..”–KROWN
