Les J – A Messenger Born from Fire
Les J, born Stanley Lester Jr., is not just a new name on the scene he’s the sound of a shift. A bold voice rising from the ashes, merging gritty reality with divine purpose. Rapper. Singer. Songwriter. Producer. Record executive. In 2025, he’s not just entering the music industry he’s taking it by storm.
But his story almost ended before it began.
In 2001, Stanley flatlined spiritually, physically collapsing under the weight of a drug-laced joint. His soul slipped into darkness. What followed was an encounter with hell itself. “I left my body,” he says. “I felt fire. Pure torment. My flesh melted, grew back, and melted again over and over. I cried out, and God answered.”
That moment became the foundation of his mission.
Les J didn’t just survive he was sent back. A messenger. A man forged in fire, called to wake the world with his words. His music is not entertainment it’s evidence. Evidence that God still saves. That purpose still lives, even when death knocks.
Now, in 2025, Les J is making his official debut as a fresh West Coast powerhouse with his highly anticipated single, “God Did It.” Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jovan Dawkins, the track delivers an anthemic fusion of timeless West Coast soul and street gospel. It’s not just a hit it’s a moment. The beginning of a movement.
Les J’s artistry is multi-dimensional he raps, sings, writes, and produces, building every record from conviction and lived experience. But he’s not just focused on his own sound. In 2024, he launched Not My Will Music Group, a bold new label rooted in purpose over profit, truth over trend. It will be a home for artists called, not just talented.
Off stage, Les J is a devoted husband to Alicia and a proud father to his daughters, Trinity, Spiritual, and Grace. Whether he's in the studio, on the mic, or with his family, every moment is a reminder that life is a gift, and purpose is sacred.
Les J is here, and the message is clear.
From fire to faith, from pain to platform - God did it.
