BIO & COMMENTS - SONGBIRD

Leonda "Songbird" Stephens is the latest member of the ManDown camp. Reared in the choir of her family church in Raleigh, North Carolina, this "Songbird" possess some experienced pipes! MDP is definitely making the best use of this talent; she performs on two of three tracks on the soon to be released "Du Rag" EP. In fact, the strength of her delivery lead the team back into the studio to remix several previously completed works. She's thrilled to be apart of the ManDown Productions label and artist roster; thoughts are that she is the piece to the puzzle that will make this self proclaimed "Hip Hop's Next Super Group" - super! Maybe there's something to this, at the top of her musical influences is the encomparable Lauryn Hill of hip hop's last super group - The Fugee's.

Who Am I listening to: 2Ez, and Hydro Cuzo on Kvibe baby!
