Heartfelt Empire Muzik Group

On a purely rational level, he wasn’t supposed to be here—the odds against him were simply
too great. Yet L.Mont has not only survived a catalog of horrors but he’s also built a gleaming
reputation (Jay Electronica and Young Bleed are both outspoken admirers). Born Lamont
London, L.Mont was immersed in New Orleans street life from an unfathomably young
age. Later on, he served an eight-year prison sentence for manslaughter. Upon making parole in
2012, L.Mont rose from the rubble, pumping out what he calls “Heartfelt Muzik” under the
watchful tutelage of No Limit alum BlaqnMild. Two albums of bluesy,
blustery, death-fixated reality rap followed: Broken Images and #CoolB4Rap. At the time L. Mont was
reeling from the passing of his brother and mother, but rather than self-destruct, he embraced
the philosophy of turning grief into art. Along the way he also made his presence felt as a
documentary filmmaker. Undeterred by his lack of a major label contract, L. Mont has a fierce
work ethic.
