At the age of 11, Mark Lewis dreamed of being a world renown rapper. And every beat made, every rhyme written, every late night in the studio has been his way in conquering that dream. When you're that young though, you don't know your style or sound. Your only goal was to be heard. There was no manager financing your way. There was no CD release party. What you had was a couple of friends, 2 cassette tapes, and 2 portable stereos. One for playing the music and a second to record the music while you rhymed. Mark came up with the name Young Lew and began passing out tapes and eventually CD's, starting his following. It got him gigs at age 16, performing for crowds at the Airline Skating Rink, where he overcame his stage fright and helped define his stage presence. Not long after, Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding cities. But the storm impacted Young Lew in a positive way. Throughout the struggle of displacement and relocation to Baton Rouge, Young Lew found his voice. He began making music that spoke of the "hard times, I done been through the struggle." Combining his southern style sound from Kenner and New Orleans with the jig style of Baton Rouge. His following continued to grow and change with him. He was no longer Young Lew, but Lucki Lew. Eventually Lucki Lew made his way back home to Kenner, LA where he brought with him confidence and a new sound. His passion came through his rhymes. His words were reflecting what he was going through, and that connected with his fans who may have been feeling the same way. Solid lyrical skills, combined with his energy and infectious, enthusiastic performances continue to make him a success. Phreedom Records owner, COBaby, recognized his talent while networking during one of Lew's shows. The combination of their efforts have only increased their worth, as an artist and a label. But it doesn't stop there. Lucki Lew is creating a future. For him, for his family and his label. The money won't change him. But the world around him will.
