The incident that resulted in

Trinidadian/ Brooklyn-based artiste
Lee G's

album "Standing" slated to be
released in 2011 had its beginning in 2008 when Mr. Lee G went to
Trinidad to promote his music. Since he did not grow up in his birth
country the artiste wanted to let "his people" know about his music and
introduced a CD dedicated to his mother, entitled "Mama". Two weeks
later he was invited to perform at a stage show in Trinidad. When the
after party was over Mr. Lee G left the venue alone and was approached
by a vehicle and 6 shots were fired at him. 3 bullets hit him in his
arm, back and leg.

He has been spreading his message musically for many years blending
various musical influences into his culture reggae sound. As lee G says,
whats makes the difference is "the soul in the music".
