Check the music video for the dopest ode to Middle School ever - POP N CHIPS - featuring rap phenoms Ghettosocks and Timbuktu!
More Or Les and Fresh Kils: The Les Kils EP is a hyper-dense, super-compact SUPER collection of 7 dope songs (plus bonus) all produced by Fresh Kils. The EP features Backburner members Uncle Fester on the cuts, and Ghettosocks and Timbuktu on the kick-ass song "Pop N Chips" - my ode to Middle School Rap.
Seriously, Middle School.
It's at CDbaby.com, emusic.com and on iTunes.

“…a genuine, honest to goodness kick-ass hip-hop show…”
(Erik Leijon, CHARTattack, 2008)
“More Or Les produces some of the most digestible, accessible, intelligent, memorable and infectious raps we've ever heard. Drawing from alternative and underground hip hop trends, his sound is still his own, simultaneously well-steeped in old school while being forward-thinking at the same time.”
(CD Baby.com, 2006.)
“Inspired by rap's pre-gangsta golden age -- when good-natured hip-hoppers like Jungle Brothers and Dream Warriors strode the Earth -- Les doesn't just say "it's about fluency with rhyming ingenuity," he proves it.”
(Toronto Globe & Mail, 2006.)
“More Or Les: Dope Canadian Hip Hop. This MC slings y’all back to a certain sector of rap’s golden age with his sunny, breezy funk productions and feel-good syllables on the mic.”
(The Seattle Stranger, 2004.)

Thanks for rockin' "Move Something" with me at HHK...although I messed up a few words...it was still sick! Dope music BTW! Check my page let me know what you think.
Although the Truth About Rap is outstanding, "The Wrong Way" has to be my favorite track right now. It's one of those you have to go out and play for everyone.
i saw the Herbalizer disc that u're featured on the other day at HMV, nicey niceness :-) hope all is well with you guys in MTL and yes, I suck about collabing, i know, i know. STILL trying to wrap up this LP (god willing it'll be done by the end of October)before I get involved with anything else. might be done rapping and looking for totally different instrumentals next time around.
thanks for the add. I love the video, watched it a 100 times already lol. It's refreshing to hear original hiphop with a sense of humour. much respect to you Les, keep it real
