With three critically acclaimed albums, North American & European touring under his belt, and a feature on the latest album of UK Hip Hop band The Herbaliser, MC, Producer & DJ More Or Les is a Hip Hop triple threat. Building on the success of his 3rd full-length project Brunch With A Vengeance with the song “Busted Gear” voted no. 14 in CBC Radio 3’s Top 103 Songs of 2011, More Or Les is putting the finishing touches on Mastication, his upcoming release of mouth-watering proportions. All about food and including several rapped recipes, this early summer 2012 release will feature artists including Timbuktu, Latté D. Kyd, The Mighty Rhino, and early 90’s rapid-fire Rap specialist Chip-Fu (of Fu-Schnickens fame).

Music releases for More Or Les include albums I only stop for the Red Ants, The Truth About Rap, & the aforementioned Brunch…, 2009’s collaboration with TO Producer Fresh Kils The Les-Kils EP, and appearances on the latest release of The Herbaliser. Appearing on their 2008 album "Same As It Never Was", More or Les connected with the group over three shows on their 2005 Canadian tour, a week-long gig in London, UK in November ‘05 and European & Canadian tours in 2006 and 2008.
