Choruses work best when the crowd can sing along or at least recognize the tune. With the Columbia Music Festival coming up this week, here’s a playlist to get familiar with the artists you’ll be seeing.
1. Le1f – Wut: Le1f combines a fresh take on dance-rap music with his unique identity in a changing scene. If Jay-Z represented Brooklyn in his time, then Le1f is a good snapshot of Brooklyn today, especially in areas like Williamsburg. He’s boldly gay and unashamedly an avant-garde artist in a genre that isn’t known for many talents of either persuasion. "Wut" is a good example of what makes him so popular. Just check out the awesomeness of the video.
Le1f will perform on Lehman Lawn on Fri., April 12 at 5 p.m.
