★ 纽约酷儿饶舌彗星惊异处男作，Balam Acab、Dev Hynes助阵打造 ★ 犹如M.I.A.的生猛火力坠入Missy Elliott的奇诡瑰丽异域 ★ Clash 8 / Pitchfork 7.5 / NOW★★★★ / AllMusic★★★★ 来自纽约曼哈顿的酷儿饶舌怪杰Khalif Diouf，化名Le1f投身音乐创作领域后协力为Das Racist打造〈Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell〉一鸣惊人，深受《攻壳机动队》、《七龙珠》、《皮卡丘》等日本动漫文化影响的幽暗奇诡乐曲氛围，加上结合其芭蕾与现代舞背景打造的异色MV风格，2012年以mixtape《Dark York》让FACT、Pitchfork等品味刁钻的另翼传媒惊艳，并于2013年接连推出《Fly Zone》和《Tree House》后，获得Grizzly Bear主脑Chris Taylor所成立的布鲁克林独立厂牌Terrible Records网罗，隔年发表拿下Pitchfork、The 405、DIY等传媒压倒性好评的EP《 Hey》。先行单曲〈Rage〉中Le1f唱到「I need to get throwed / I need to get lit / I been dealing with too much sh*t. / All these pricks is ignorant. / F**k these niggas. These niggas is wack. / These niggas is boring. These niggas is corny」以男同志MC身分闯入阳刚的饶舌领域，Le1f锋芒毕露而直接坦荡无所畏惧，从首张mixtape开始谈性爱、恐同、跨性别人权、种族意识，到了首张专辑《Riot Boi》火力未减反增，点燃近年最受注目的酷儿饶舌（queer rap）烈焰，犹如新世纪的怒女摇滚（Riot Grrrl），与其形容为音乐风潮更像是一场方兴未艾的社会革命。相对于字里行间锐利生猛的气焰，旋律上则弥漫了提姆波顿步步惊奇的黑暗瑰丽奇幻气息。〈Rage〉缭绕梦幻synth声线的奇诡实验气息，〈Swirl〉一头钻进扭曲变形而觅不得出口的回廊，犹如全盛时期Root Manuva，〈Koi〉因为Sophie助阵闪耀起动漫感的刺眼奇异光芒，崩坏的迷幻万花筒仿佛Auqua大爆走，随后〈Umami/Water〉急转直下的低郁压境，慢行于危疑感窥伺蠢蠢欲动的午夜，而末段最具流行色彩的〈Tell〉、〈Taxi〉与〈Change〉，则游移于Trip Hop、Dubstep、灵魂与节奏蓝调的步伐，同时呼应与颠覆着当代流行音乐脉动。 Le1f于开场曲〈Hi〉吆喝着「Check my whole aura winking at you/ International youth gang, we liberal/ But I'ma do me is all I can do」诚如专辑标题揭示，《Riot Boi》挑战当下流行规则与社会制度，身处事事巧心设计包装的世界，让Le1f成为异类的绝对坦然，亦是最令人慑服的终极武器。
