Khalif Diouf, known by his stage name Le1f ({{IPAc-en|l|iː|f}}), is an American rapper and producer. He runs the hip hop label Camp & Street, a subsidiary of Greedhead Music. As a gay rapper he's garnered attention for his unique and subversive musical and performance styles.[3][4][5][6] Following a series of well-received mixtapes and EPs, his debut studio album, Riot Boi, was released in November 2015.

Biography

Born in Manhattan, Diouf studied ballet and modern dance, attended the Concord Academy with the class of 2007 and earned his degree in dance from Wesleyan University before returning to the city to become a rapper.[7]

Career

Initially known for producing tracks for Brooklyn-based alternative hip-hop group Das Racist, such as their popular debut single "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell",[8] he became known as a solo artist with the release of his debut mixtape Dark York,[9] released in April 2012. Its lead single, the 5kinAndBone5-produced "Wut" garnered attention as the standout track from the project and manifested into a music video in June 2012.[10][11]

In November 2012, Diouf was featured on the song "Fuckin the DJ" by Mykki Blanco (which he also co-produced with collaborator, Boody) from his The Illuminati Prince/ss mixtape.[12] Later that month, Diouf released a joint EP with Boody, titled Liquid, which was followed by an accompanying video for the promotional single, "Soda".[13] His second mixtape Fly Zone was released to generally favorable reviews in January 2013 and later spawned a video for the successful "Spa Day". The mixtape featured guest appearances from artists such as Heems, DonChristian and Kitty.[14]

In August 2013, Le1f publicly criticised the rapper Macklemore for the latter's song "Thrift Shop", claiming that it borrowed its beat extensively from Le1f's own earlier song, "Wut". Le1f, who is African-American and gay, proceeded to criticise Macklemore for another of his songs, "Same Love", claiming that it was not appropriate for a heterosexual to exploit an LGBT rights issue for financial gain.[3][15][16]

}}

In September 2013, Diouf released his third full length mixtape Tree House and later accompanied it with a music video for the second single "Hush Bb".[18][19]

In February 2013, Terrible Records announced Diouf's record deal as well as his latest EP, a five-track project titled Hey, which was later released on March 11, 2014.[20] On March 13, 2014, Diouf made his debut appearance on national television with a performance on the Late Show with David Letterman.[21]

In November 2015, Diouf released his first full-length studio album on XL and Terrible Records. The album features contributions and production work from artists such as Evian Christ, Junglepussy, Balam Acab, Lunice, Boody, Sophie, Dev Hynes, and Dubbel Dutch, among others. In 2017, Le1f was part of the line up for the 17th edition of the Sonic Acts Festival in Amsterdam, which explored The Noise of Being. He has also performed several times at Sonic Acts club night called Progress Bar.

Le1f is connected to other LGBT artists of color such as Mykki Blanco, Junglepussy, Princess Nokia, and Dai Burger.
