To know this artist's music you must first know the artist, because he speaks his life through his music. From dropping out of school, hustling in the hood, spending over 13 years of his life in Prison, having a mob hit on his life, getting a life sentence, and making it through a death sentence. Still, his music is not gangster rap or negative in any way, instead Brother Lew is one of the Old Skool New Wavers of Positive Hip Hop that has been reaching out to the lost since 1988. In 1988 there was a transformation in this individuals life so strong that it had to be considered a miracle. Brother Lew came out of a coma in a prison hospital after he was left for dead and transformed his life 360 degrees to the better. This is the first time, after giving away over twenty thousand (20,000) of his first 7 albums that Brother Lew is now selling his CD's. He believes strongly in giving away his music and his message rather than selling it, but now in 2007 BrotherLew has seen economic times that has made it hard to live the life of a musical artist and still pay the bills. Eventhough he has personally reached out to over 100,000 fans nationwide, Brother Lew still expects to reach over two million people with his music.
