Phantom (produced by InsaneBeatz) - Leif Riggs (Rap) - From the lyrical flow to the driving instrumental, Lief Riggs’ Phantom (produced by InsaneBeatz) feels like a fun trip back to 90s rap, particularly of the West Coast variety. As if he were a descendant of Dr. Dre’s crew—and maybe even just a touch of Coolio when it comes to the timbre of Lief’s voice—Phantom is one we recommend bumping in your car. Like, it conjures the image of cadillacs bouncing on hydraulics—you know exactly what we’re talking about. But what elevates this track in particular are the incredibly clever lyrics matched with an equally impressive flow, which made it very hard for us to choose just one best lyric below. The song stands as a great introduction to who Leif is as he raps about his journey, ambition and skills. This is one to put on repeat and learn every word.
Best Lyric: “And in a coss toss, if I’m up against the odds, I will sharpen my skills and tally my kills.”
