Folkland (formerly known as CLG & L.O.S.) is comprised of Corey Gale and Lorne Shields two friends who have been making music together for years. In 2009 they released - @BMW
While many rappers pattern their persona around pimps, hustlers, and dons, Lemar and L.O.S. are what some might call 'blue collar' emcees. In the hip hop community, the duo is what many would consider "conscious rappers".
Collectively, they both feel they gravitate - Robert Baker
Shouts to Lemar French and L.O.S, the dynamic duo by the name of “Folkland”, reppin Pittsburgh P.A. It shouldn’t be long until we start hearing more about these guys. I see Pittsburgh starting to get a name for itself. - Canaday - SMAG (Scoop The Magazine)

Dope discovery : FOLKLAND - No Fans Just Critic - Mr Owl
Folkland is a hiphop duo out of Pittsburgh. I got a chance to meet Los while I was working and we linked up to get some blogs for them up. Check them out on youtube and datpiff - Billy_Hoyle412
Pittsburgh is slowly turning into Hip Hop’s leading metropolitan areas for talented Hip Hop artists. Just last year, I discovered an independent group from the PGH called Folkland, and these dudes have released nothing but plaque on plaque on plaque dope material. After releasing an equally dope mixtape called “No Fans, Just Critics,” Folkland present their lead single “Masterpiece.” If pictures are worth a 1000 words, Folkland has definitely created a cinema with this one. The track features Jon Quest (Varsity Squad) who also spits colorful wordplay from his palette along side the rap duo. Dropping a pristine audio visual to match, Folkland just might be the rap equivalent of Bansky emerging from the PGH. - MUSIKJUNKIES
