Horrible stuff, was a seriously good MC and as this thread shows everyone who knew him thought of him as a really good guy.

Been feeling kind of empty all day. Such a lovely guy, such a tragic loss, family.

[d-code]

Found out about this last night and been in shock ever since, such sad news.
An absolute gentleman and a true talent. RIP Len.

I'll never ever forget the night me and Leni done a set at The End (formaly The Den)
it was the best set i ever experianced, from the crowd to the vibes he was providing, nothing will ever come close to that night now, ever! and im so honerd to have known him and worked with him.

The last time i see him was at the last Sin City, now i wish i stopped to speak to him for abit longer then i did...lifes too short, just enjoy the good times with the quality people in your life because you might not know when the last time you'll ever see them again....

I dont know what else to say....

Thank you hatcha for introducing me to such a lovely bloke. It was a pleasure knowing you Leonard. RIP bro

My first memories of this guy...

I was 11 years old, just getting into my first few months of secondary school. In year 7 we shared a playground with the year 8's at Thomas More high school. The year 8's took up most of the playground so playing a game of football as a year 7 student was difficult unless you wanted trouble with the older kids!

Our ball landed in the playing area the year 8's were using, and as it was my ball I had to go and ask them to give it back. It landed at the feet of one of the hardest kids in the school, and he was testing me asking me to come and get the ball back off him. After a minute or so of making me look like a complete prick, Leni (Easyrider) stepped in and told the kid to give my ball back. As Leonard was regarded as the hardman in the year, the other kid backed down and let me have the ball back.

Leni recognised me from the area I lived in, he went to primary school in thornton heath and used to play at the same park I did on weekends, he was mates with some of the older kids i knew in the area as well. He was always regarded as the hard kid at our school because of his sheer size, even the teachers used to speak of him as a gentle giant as deep down he had a heart of gold.

I was tiny in secondary school so often got started on by kids from other schools on my way home on the bus, one time that stuck in the memory was a time Leni saw some kid giving me grief when I got off the bus, when he came over he scared the shit out of the kid and demanded the kid said sorry to me before he did something about it. Which the kid in turn complied with and went about his business.... every day after that the boy used to see if I was on the bus on his route home, and if I was, he'd avoid getting on the bus out of sheer embarassment.

Len had a heart of gold and always remembered me. I was always thankful for his help at school and when I got into music and met up with him again after leaving, we'd often laugh about my memories of him at school, and how much everyone was scared of him given his kind nature.

My heart goes out to his family and friends - special mention to Hatcha as ever since I can remember meeting Leni at school, Hatcha has always been by his side. They were so close at school, then went thru the garage days on Upfront FM together, eventually forming the Stonecold GX crew and even now it's rare to see one of them and not the other.

We're going to miss you Leni. We've lost more than an MC, we've lost one of our oldest and dearest friends, a true gentleman and a man of high morals.

Rest In Peace mate x

thank you for sharing that story with us. makes him be more than 'just' a musician!

RIP
