LeCoreyen Stephon Waites. Musician.
Minalayuz arrives with a compellingly unique artistic identity: a psychotic military thug loverboy with an old soul. Formerly known as Lekerious Wayther (a Latin play on his birth-given name), Minalayuz emerged during the production of his 7th album, Luverz Penitentiary. His name pays homage to the Greek King Menelaus of Sparta, who launched a war for love, the name embodies his "military thug" persona, fighting for love with a Malcolm X-inspired "no retreat, no surrender by any means necessary" mentality. This blends with his "loverboy" persona, reminiscent of grand romantic gestures, tinged with a volatile "psychotic" edge. Minalayuz’s evolution as an artist is reflected in his expansive catalog: he began with his R&B debut Gisamei Love, transitioned into rap with The Wait for Cupid, and honed his hybrid sound through projects like Beastly Comebacks and Royal Conspiracies. The emergence of Minalayuz was fully realized with Luverz Penitentiary and solidified through his official platform debut Euthanasia Catharsis. Leading to his most recent release, L E ' M I L E S Album. Influenced by the raw intensity of Eminem, the grounded wisdom of J. Cole, and the revolutionary conviction of Tupac, Minalayuz is both thuggishly seductive and spiritually introspective. In a landscape saturated with trends, Minalayuz offers something timeless: a raw, unfiltered truth wrapped in poetry, pain, and power.
