Lakey The Kid
Lakey The Kid'' orLake'' is a rapper from Queensbridge, New York. In 1999, Lake was released from prison after serving a seven year sentence. He had been writing rhymes while in prison and attempted to get into the hip-hop industry once he was released. Lake is famously known as a friend and business partner of fellow Queensbridge rapper Nas. He appeared on the song "Revolutionary Warfare" on Nas' album, God's Son. Since he appeared on Nas' album, Lake's relationship has folded with Nas.
The first album Lake released was Lake Entertainment Presents: The 41st Side, a compilation album featuring fellow Queensbridge rappers. The album was released under Lake's label, Lake Entertainment and sold over 100,000 copies with little promotion. Many compare the album to Nas' compilation album, QB Finest, which also featured Queensbridge rappers. Albeit minor, Lakey the kid was mentioned subtly in Nas's song Represent from his critcally acclaimed debut album Illmatic, in which he says "My man Cormega, Lakey the Kid, Can't forget Drawers...".
Lake is now signed on to Death Row East, a subsidiary of Death Row Records. His album entitled "The Big Ride" is expected to be released in early 2007. On August 22, 2006, Lake released a collaborative album with Cormega entitled "My Brother's Keeper".
