Artist Leif Riggs based in Encinitas, US, released a whopping hip hop track called ‘ Phantom’, on the 26th of February, that will leave your head spinning from how hardcore good it is. Production is by InsaneBeatz and the song is considered battle rap style. After going back to college in his late 20s and securing a degree in mathematics, Riggs found himself in the comfort and pleasure of writing music as a side thing from his career, which keeps him writing and creating as he has always done because of his passion for music since two decades.
This song encompasses a high level of intensity and artistry in the lyrics and sonic aspects. Riggs’ performance is also top-notch and very smooth with his flow and rhymes. The overall sound of the song is badass and hyped up. Riggs is just spitting fire in this song. It talks about having stamina and withstanding hardship and pressure, a classic rap topic but with his persona and twist in style. The musical arrangement is dynamic and effective in its message. It’s daring and challenging in vibes. Within a slow pace, you’ve got intense and ironic piano, subtle drums and cymbals that regulate the pace, female vocals that mimic sirens that give the track a flare of drama, and a violin backing sound. This song is great for moving your energy and mood into a higher one at any time of day!
