15 Alternative Hip Hop Artists You Need To Hear

8. Le1f

Queer rap€™s a thing y€™all and if you€™re not all up in its grill by now then you really need to be. Artists like Cakes da Killa and Mykki Blanco are making big waves at the minute but perhaps the granddaddy of them all is Le1f. He€™s an incredible showman, full of swaggering lucidity and more confidence than he knows what to do with. Le1f is a mix of Dennis Rodman and an electrical storm. Le1f€™s stuff is packed full of croaky vocals and bear trap beats with the skyline of New York ever present in everything he does. His recent single €˜Wut€™ is just one of the most addictive and pulsating beats in recent memory. It gets under your skin like bot fly larvae and won€™t let go for hell or high water. Full on banging beats built for a dirty dancefloor, that€™s what you get from this guy whether you want it or not. Le1f just oozes sex and primal pheromones and with a whole host of cool friends like Dev Hynes, Balam Acab and Junglepussy all lining up to help out on his recent album, Le1f is here to tear stuff up. And damn he€™s a good dresser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrnq4SZ0luc

Sometime Brummie with a love for tea, tequila and football teams that don't win a lot of games. Still don't really understand apostrophes.
