American emcee Axel Leon delivers dense bars and clever rhymes inspired by childhood heroes <a href="spotify:artist:3nFkdlSjzX9mRTtwJOzDYB">Jay-Z</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7dGJo4pcD2V6oG8kP0tJRR">Eminem</a>. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx, Leon moved to the United States at the age of one. He developed a love for hip-hop as a teenager, exposed to the culture on the streets where he could observe local rappers rhyming on the block with boomboxes. In addition to <a href="spotify:artist:3nFkdlSjzX9mRTtwJOzDYB">Jay-Z</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7dGJo4pcD2V6oG8kP0tJRR">Em</a>, Leon honed his craft listening to Big Pun, <a href="spotify:artist:30fiiwr2EeZp1tAhzYCmyM">Big L</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5pnbUBPifNnlusY8kTBivi">Jadakiss</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2lQvoGjN6jJfsAkaywtgrB">Canibus</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3ipn9JLAPI5GUEo4y4jcoi">Ludacris</a>. Soon, he began writing his own rhymes and performing as AX. He issued a handful of releases, but later decided to perform under his birth name. He gained exposure freestyling for <a href="spotify:artist:34ABXKUj0gzq7R8vXjCaNj">Funkmaster Flex</a>, recording with <a href="spotify:artist:6AMa1VFQ7qCi61tCRtVWXe">Jim Jones</a> (notably on his track "Bando"), and working with Harlem emcee <a href="spotify:artist:3kf0gOpxWtkyeMNJVDQPtd">Smoke DZA</a>. In 2016, he issued The Black Hole, the first showcase for his dizzying flow and moody atmospheric production. In 2017, he followed with Rich Port 2 -- which featured the single "100 to 1" -- and J.U.G.O. ~ Neil Z. Yeung, Rovi
