Do yourself and the artist a favor: queue up Please Leave a Message on your preferred streaming service instead. You’ll hear the warmth of the analog-inspired production the way October London intended.
Here’s a closer look at what’s actually going on with that search term and why you should avoid chasing that download. October London (born Jared Erskine) is a soul and R&B singer from South Bend, Indiana, signed to Death Row Records in its revival era under Snoop Dogg.
His album Please Leave a Message was officially released in via Death Row/Gamma. It’s a throwback to classic 70s-style smooth soul — often compared to Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On era. The album includes the single “Back to Your Place” and other standouts like “Mulholland Drive” and “The Cup.”
If you’ve seen this phrase circulating on file-sharing forums, torrent sites, or sketchy “free MP3” blogs, it’s almost certainly an unauthorized rip — either a user-compressed folder of leaked or ripped tracks from the album.
It’s important to clarify upfront: * there is no legitimate or official “zip file” or download package titled “October London Please Leave A Message zip” tied to the album Please Leave a Message by October London.
