I like to think this band got together to discuss what kind of music they wanted to play. One of the guitarists wanted to play thrash, the other liked virtuoso shit. Bass player wanted to be in a jazz band. Drummer wanted to play funk and Eddie said fuck that I want to rap. So they just put everything together and it’s fucking beautiful.
im a big punk,ska,nyhc,fan for over 30 yrs...i admit idk much about Leeway but dam Ive always loved this song,and dam it always a shame whenever anyone dies..rip bro
LYRICS: All hail the kingpin, the one with soul, who′s in control. With the poker face stare, never concerned, always giving orders. Do you know this man? Well if you don't I think you should. Shake his hand; he′s the modern day robin hood. Walk along the wire, the risk is always higher. Walking fine lines helps you pass the time. He doesn't care what you have to say cause he knows that he's getting paid. Who′s knows any other way? Go for broke-do what cha gotta do. You know what i′m saying. Go for broke-do what cha gotta do. You know what I say. You can go for yours, but you better have some respect. Cause you don't want a man like that to connect-NO. He justifies-eye to an eye. Take his side or go for a ride.
I swear nobody knew who this band was until this guy got cancer a few years ago and every t-shirt maker on instagram made fundraiser shirts for him. Saw that he passed, figured I'd finally check the music out. I really don't like it, like at all. RIP though!
Rest in paradise Eddie Leeway
The kingpin himself RIP Eddie. You’ve left your legacy for the rest of us to carry on.

Rapping while sounding like Joey Belladonna from Anthrax, in a strange, but cool way.

Had such a urban hip hop cultural feel
Well it is NY Hardcore lol
Criminally underrated. I don´t understand why bands like Anthrax got so big and Leeway nada.
Totally agree! Love these cat’s!
Well said
Eddie is back, new album soon
Drugs
RECORD LABEL! That’s why, bad business decisions will do that.
Came from the headlines about Eddie's passing. Sad way to discover a band, but I'm here for it. Good shit.
Same
Still one of the best songs, ever!
Rest In Power, Eddie Sutton
My first HC gig in 1993. Last time i saw Eddie in Berlin in 2019 i told him he brought me into HC. Good guy.
Eddie and Michael are rockin' on the other side... I sure, I'll never forget
Super underrated band, flawless discography

Sadly Eddie passed last night 4/19/24 after a hard fought battle with cancer RIP Eddie
Saw this vid once on Headbangers Ball what seems like half a million years ago. I forgot who it was. A friend knew right away.
They were way off with the short shorts but ahead of the curve with the flat bill hats. Facts! NYHC!

Ultra catchy !
Superb 💙
Goodbye legend R.I.P. Eddie

Go for broke-do what cha gotta do.
You know what i′m saying. Go for broke-do what cha gotta do. You know what I say.

Bad Brains of NYHC
Turnstile bit off everything from this band.
They probably turned off a lot of hardcore fans with rap stuff. Crossing over into other styles can sometimes be a commercial backfire.
I swear nobody knew who this band was until this guy got cancer a few years ago and every t-shirt maker on instagram made fundraiser shirts for him. Saw that he passed, figured I'd finally check the music out. I really don't like it, like at all. RIP though!
Nobody knows who you are and what is your point? Do you actually think that anyone cares if you like Leeway?
Janes addiction
Snitches get stitches!
holy shit this is not New Yorks finest! thats fact...
so who do u think is??
