Rill Lehigh

Rill Lehigh and Kirko Bangz develop a kind of alchemy on “Bad Bih” – with two voices from two different worlds Kirko Bangz brings a song-song styled melodic twist to “Bad Bih”, while Rill Lehigh delivers his low-end subsonic growl which no-one else in the game has. The two styles juxtapose and play off each other beautifully. Every few months, hip-hop experiences a shift in its sound. Whether fueled by artistic creativity or monetary gain, there are certain fads that exist in the genre when the industry recognizes what works, and everyone else clones the sound and style. The overall melodic sound and hazy atmospheric, vibe of the production together with Kirko Bangz’ reverbed croon, is of the moment, and exactly what fans are craving. It’s Rill Lehigh who throws the original spanner in the works and goes against the grain of the trend. His delivery is all his own. Deep, atonal, and laidback, Rill’s low-voiced bellow is almost menacing its restrained coolness, a kind of rap version of James Earl Jones and Darth Vader. This is exactly what makes the song standout above the noise. These two opposites bring a whole new blends of sounds to the game. It’s the kind of unusual pairing that can stand the test of time, as each artist brings their best diversity to the table. Kirko Bangz’ ability to drop slick tuned and melodically induced wordplay combined with Rill Lehigh deep-voiced, deceptively heavy raps is a pairing that feels in total content.
