Leafy Not New Is The Realest Voice Coming Outta Indiana New Single “Tommy Egan” Dropped May 23

Meet Leafy Not New — born Gamaliel Porter, the youngest of four siblings, raised by a single mother who taught him to ask “Why not?” instead of “Why?” That question became the fuel behind his rise from the streets of Pennsylvania and Indiana to the rap game’s spotlight.

By five, Leafy was already seeing the brutal side of life. Loss, violence, and survival shaped his early years. By ten, he was hustling to survive, and by sixteen, he was stacking money, driving his own ride, and earning respect in the streets. But the hustle came with a cost — betrayal and jail time tested his spirit. Locked up, Leafy made a promise to himself: music would be his way out.

Since 2019, Leafy Not New has been grinding hard, turning pain into bars and ambition into action. He’s worked with heavy hitters like Gucci Mane and keeps his sights on bigger moves, naming Drake as a dream collaborator to push his artistry even further.

For Leafy, this isn’t just about fame — it’s about escaping the streets for good and building a legacy that his brothers and neighborhood can be proud of. Supported fiercely by his crew, Leafy’s music is raw, real, and reflects the journey from struggle to success.

On May 23, 2025, Leafy drops “Tommy Egan,” a hard-hitting single that channels loyalty, hustle, and street grit. It’s the lead-off for his upcoming EP, which promises to cement Leafy Not New as a name you’ll never forget.

At 30 years old, Leafy Not New is a living testament to resilience and ambition—proof that the streets don’t define you, but how you rise from them does.
