      Incredible analogy. You're absolutely right about that. Hmm, people talk as if P Diddy owned the "Bling Era" sound, but the early 2000s is caked with that LES type beat aesthetic.

      This makes me realise he’s one of my favorites! I love and grew up with all these beats and for the most of them didn’t know that was all LES! On top for me is Premo (and Kurtis Mantronik and Marley Marl for their legendary contributions) but LES shares the spot with Just Blaze, RZA, Large Pro. Alchemist and Havoc for me. This vid is a wake up call for me, he’s one of the best imo and I feel I look crazy for not knowing he made all these fire beats!

    LES was one of my first favorite producers ever. I remember collecting every single track I could find from him.
    You left out many, many classics he did for Nas such as U Gotta Love It and Find Ya Wealth that are miles above Nastradamus I gotta say.
    But dope video, very much appreciated.

      Olu plays both trumpet and cornet (they both look similar and play the same, trumpet is slightly bigger and has a little more power). He played trumpet on the Nas track, with a Harmon mute like Miles Davis liked to use.
      I know Olu personally from the days of St. Nick’s Pub in Harlem. He also sings and plays guitar too. He’s full of humor and wisdom. He stopped performing over a decade ago for health reasons.
