Leon Thomas returns with “Not Fair,” a James Fauntleroy, Freaky Rob, D. Phelps & FaxOnly-produced track from his deluxe album MUTT Deluxe: Heel. The song marks a shift in his career following a breakout project that earned him global attention and notable collaborations.
Leon Thomas delivers “Not Fair” as part of the deluxe edition MUTT Deluxe: Heel, a refreshed version of his breakthrough album. Following the viral success of the self-titled single that earned him a Tiny Desk appearance, a Best New Artist nomination at the BET Awards, and collaborations with artists such as Halle Bailey, Freddie Gibbs, and Ty Dolla Sign, Leon updates his project with nine new tracks. “Not Fair” emerges as a key moment in the deluxe release, showcasing a raw narrative of romantic vulnerability and impulsive attraction.

In this track, Leon challenges the traditional swagger of a lothario by confessing his inner conflict; he wonders aloud, “It’s not fair, how you just gon’ take off your clothes and sit right there? / How you just do whatever you want? / How you gon’ put a spell on me just to front? / How you keep make me falling in love, it’s just not fair.”
Produced by a team including James Fauntleroy, Freaky Rob, D. Phelps, and FaxOnly, the song highlights his willingness to reveal a more exposed side of himself despite the expectations set by his earlier, unapologetic work. Released under EZMNY Records and Motown Records in collaboration with UMG Recordings, the track continues to solidify Leon Thomas’s reputation as an artist unafraid to evolve while maintaining the inventive spirit that first set him apart in the global music scene.
