About K-LEE
This is a true rags-to-riches story. K-Lee began his long road to success back in 1998 with only a dream to rap. K-Lee and 2 other homiez at tha time got together and formed the rap group âMortal Fleshâ and began putting in the work in the studio recording tracks, and doing shows locally. After several months of being together, Mortal Flesh had appeared on local TV three times and shared the stage with several locals from Tennessee.
In 1999 Mortal Flesh went their separate ways and K-Lee decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things. He put together a 3-song demo CD and shipped it to every record company that he could think of. Thinking that he was going to get signed, he was caught off-guard by the responses he got instead. Several months went by and K-Lee began to get calls from labels with comments like âYouâre white...â âYou donât have the look for rap...â âYou donât have the talent...â This only sparked his hunger to continue, but it confused him at the same time.
In 2000, K-Lee decided to either give up and stop rapping or do this music thing on his own. After several months of receiving negative comment after negative comment, K-Lee had made a decision to continue the path he had started in 1998. At the end of 2000 K-Lee borrowed $2,000 from his fiancé (which is now his wife) to release his first album, âPainâ, off of his own independent label, Voyager Records, with no budget, but an unreal drive that no one could take away or stop!
Itâs now 2006 and K-Lee has released 13 CDs on the streets of Tennessee and has street sales alone topping 40,000 CDs. K-Lee has been on local TV seven times, featured on CDs with:
