Jeff Leon
Senior Staff Writer at KevinNottingham.com
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Jeff is a senior staff writer for KevinNottingham.com. A lifelong fan of Hip Hop culture since the moment he discovered Public Enemy and De La Soul, Jeff is always on the lookout for new and engaging rap, and is willing to talk (and write) Hip Hop to practically ANYONE who will listen. Escaping from Florida where he went to the University of Florida (his thesis on Hip Hop and African culture was well received), he now resides in Washington, D.C., where if he isn't jogging, he's tinkering with his Android phone, listening to copious amounts of music, re-watching "The Wire," and taking out suckas in Battlefield 3.
