Leak Bros was an American hip hop duo consisting of New York rapper Cage and New Jersey rapper Tame One.[1]

History

Tame One and Cage met through Robert "Kell's Bells" Kelly on the now-defunct Eastern Conference Records. Their relationship grew from both being natural fans of the others' work, and a desire to collaborate. After Tame One met Cage, the two rappers eventually founded another collective, The Weathermen, along with El-P, Breeze Brewin, and Aesop Rock, among others.[2] Leak Bros made their debut on Cage's Weatherproof EP and Tame One's When Rappers Attack, both released in 2003. As a whole, their songs involve the use of and effects of the drug PCP, hence their name "Leak Brothers".[3] In 2004, the duo released the album Waterworld on Eastern Conference Records.[4] While since then they have not released any more Leak Bros albums, Tame One has said that he and Cage have remained friends.[5] Tame One died on November 5, 2022.
