Khalif Diouf, known by his stage name Le1f (/liːf/), is an American rapper and producer from New York City. 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. Following a series of well-received mixtapes and EPs, his debut studio album Riot Boi was released in November 2015.
Born in Manhattan, New York, 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.
Initially known for producing tracks for hip-hop group Das Racist, such as their popular debut single "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell", he became known as a solo artist with the release of his debut mixtape Dark York, 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.

Le1f's mesmerizing, glitchy beats and his provocative, richly referential lyrics are infiltrating hip hop with avant-garde and colluding avant with pop. His catchy collage of high and low culture, welcome at the Whitney and Irving Plaza, P.S. 1 and Los Globos, makes a perfect match for director Alex Da Corte, who consumes, metabolizes, and secretes mass culture into anally precise painting and sculpture. For the brooding, glamorous "Hush Bb," Le1f and a female model take turns writhing on velvet sheets and smoking out of Da Corte's signature plastic tubing, the video slowed like Le1f's syrupy vocals. Here, Le1f (and culture itself) is the MC Escher triangle from his breakout video "Wut": a snake eating its own tail. Directed by Alex Da Corte [www.alexdacorte.com] Asst. Director & Visual F...
