NEW YORK - Marylandian -- New York artist and songwriter Lee DoubleO has defied COVID-19 odds by releasing his debut single, "Slushie" during quarantine with a sexy Halloween theme. As a young artist, he has been inspired by conversations with other artists who have struggled and innovated during challenging restrictions on the music industry. His biggest influences come from the roster of the dream team at Epic Records including Travis Scott, Bobby Shmurda, Future and Eazy E to name a few.

Travis Scott taught him how to create incredible live shows with an immense amount of crowd control; even through social media. Bobby Shmurda has been a strong influence on the importance of being genuine and transparent, regardless of the level of celebrity you hold. Future taught him that his voice is a true instrument that needs to remain versatile. Finally, the Godfather of Hip-Hop, Eazy E. With what is happening politically and socially today, Eazy E and NWA had the truth of handling your truth during mass destruction.
