Leo G’s piece, ‘Assumptions,’ isn’t just a track; it’s a cracked ceramic bowl held up to the light, showing the fault lines of a relationship ruined by doubt.

Known to some as Gabe, Leo G creates in the space between lyrical rap and pure spoken word. His stated goal is to create work that is authentic and creative, rooted in solid lyricism. A newer presence, his approval here marks one of his first shared pieces. He approaches his craft with the sincere hope that listeners connect with his words, operating with the directness of an independent artist who relies on platforms like YouTube for his creative distribution. This direct connection, bypassing layers of industry middlemen, is the engine of his expression.

‘Assumptions’ enters the room with the quiet gravity of a late-night confession. Olivia Knight’s perspective finds a deep affinity for this style, seeing the song less as a performance and more as a literary examination of personal wreckage. The intimate & poetic tone that washes over the piece is driven entirely by Leo G’s voice, a raw delivery that details the slow, agonizing erosion of trust.

This spoken-word form itself is a powerful statement in an era dominated by hyper-processed, instantly consumable digital media. The choice to craft a rap that is essentially a poem set to timing brings to the forefront the issue of digital vs. analog expression. In a world where every piece of art is streamlined for algorithm digestion, Leo G chooses the enduring power of the word, favoring depth over fleeting trends. It feels like a handwritten letter in a sea of texts.

The heartbreak described—a cycle where self-doubt poisons connection—ties seamlessly into the core narrative lesson: the power of perseverance in overlooked spaces. It is a perseverance not of grand, external struggle, but of the internal fight to articulate pain. The space he operates in—independent, spoken word, and lyrically focused—is often overlooked by mainstream hype machines. Yet, it is precisely within these quieter corners that the most powerful, difficult, and necessary work is done. His art is a reminder that the biggest battles—the ones against our own fears and ‘assumptions’—are fought and won in silence, and their expression, however painful, is an act of genuine strength.
