A punchy and upfront jewel, ‘One Day’ champions a decisively old-school aesthetic, empowering a playful boom baps instrumental and more nuanced, personal lyricism, crafted by Leif Riggs’ creative aura. His flow is once again quite nostalgic, echoing early 90s G-Funk and deep, raw voices. The listening experience is in that aspect quite rewarding, especially for any keen hip-hop lover. The wizard behind the production is InsaneBeatz.
Active in the Californian scene since the ‘2000s, the talented creative is perhaps not the youngest kid on the block anymore. That’s a strength, more than anything; Riggs can deliver the most real storytelling, refraining from clichés or trends; instead, he pursues his own style, one that’s clearly working well for him.
Exploring the inspiration behind ‘One Day’, Leif is adamant about the authentic and honest character behind the writing. As he explains: “The purpose of this song is to express my mindset while dealing with life. It’s about converting my regrets into hopes by continuing to work with others. I discuss the dark places I have been, and the actions I take while moving toward a brighter future.”
