YouTube sensation Superwoman (aka Lilly Singh) and spoken word artist Humble The Poet (aka Kanwer Singh) bring a common Punjabi household word like “leh” to the limelight.
We’ve watched Superwoman and Humble The Poet rise to stardom with their YouTube videos, poetry, spontaneous personalities and for stepping outside of the norm. But, they take it up a notch for their newest project, “#LEH,” by joining forces to produce a one-of-a-kind music video that hilariously portrays the life of millennials.
The rap duo stays true to their swagged-out personalities by starting off this catchy music video posing as stuck up rich kids with fancy cars, houses and shoes, but towards the middle of the shoot, they ditched the designer clothes for a fun jam session with their friends and plenty of pizza.
Superwoman was super cute and fly as usual, first rocking big shades, leopard print heels and jewelry, but then opting for her signature snapback-and-t-shirt-look. And well, Humble was humble as always, spitting catchy lines and sporting his full-face beard!

Well, these are just some of the many lines you will instantly chuckle listening to, because whether you live it or not, your friends on Instagram and Facebook sure do. Watch the rest for yourself! #LEH
Their message was clear: don’t be someone you are not. Just be real and true to yourself! And as we say at Brown Girl: keep it smart, hip and beautiful!
With more than one million views since their big 4 p.m. release on July 1, the music video has caught the attention of big media houses such as The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and The Times of India.
What is more impressive is that Superwoman came up with the idea herself and each artist wrote their own lyrics, but we wouldn’t expect any less from these multi-talented Indo-Canadians.
In addition to the rap duo, the video’s stylist was fashion blogger Ess Kay Ji. The music production was by the Durrani Brothers, video production was by Digitology and production assistance by The Glass Museum. Other rising stars featured on the video were Rapper B Magic( aka The Brown Magician), graphic illustrator Inkquisitive, Food Network Canada’s “Recipe To Riches” winner Rick Matharu, ASAPScience and Canada’s “Got Talent” finalist Broken Dance.
If you like the clothes in the music video, you can buy the #LEH t-shirt from Superwoman’s clothing line and Humble’s fab “See a Singh” sweater at SeeASingh.
