Le1f has finally unveiled the lead single from his debut album Riot Boi. Available in video form above (directed by Simon Ward), “Koi” was produced by everyone’s favorite endorphin-flooding PC Music associate, SOPHIE. And while it’s more of a light-hearted listen, the rapper/producer recently told Vice that Riot Boi is “a very pro-trans, pro–clean water, Black Lives Matter record.”
The perfect balance between pop and politics, then, or as Le1f put it, “I still want to make the music I want to listen to. I still want to make Rich Homie Quan and Beyoncé songs. I just want them to be about other issues.”
Look out for the rest of Riot Boi on Terrible Records this fall, including tracks by Dubbel Dutch and fellow s/t cover star Evian Christ.
