Setting the tone with a dramatic performance of layered keys, lending themselves to an immersive energy, Riggs opens Phantom with evocative prose and eloquent flow as he raps, “My cards on the table, my plan you can read, my goals you can publish and the journey I will lead, I give them what they need…”
The opus expands into an assertive, powerful and inspiring commentary from the artist, laced with authenticity and full of poetic prowess as he shares his soul and spirit with us. When discussing his artistry, the star from Encinitas confesses, “In this project, I present a rhythmic, percussive, and animated delivery of lyrics on top of a traditional, well-developed instrumental.”
Riggs continues, “Even though the topic is similar to many other battle rap tracks, the concepts for my lines are top-notch. It involves overcoming my rivals who “…retreat with their tail between their legs” while lifting up my team at the same time.”
We love the message that Riggs shares with his art, it is clear that he is wise and well researched, and that energy is tangible in Phantom, which is produced by InsaneBeatz. The way he shares his words is unique and charismatic. The self-reflective artist says, “I think that most listeners of hip-hop appreciate tracks like these. This track provides a captivating sound through my vocal tones. For this project, some of the aspects of my lyrics involve imagery, syllable structure, rhyme schemes, and meaning of words.”
We deeply appreciate what the visionary is sharing with his sonic universe. He leaves us with the quote, “For the sake of the times I will elevate you. So we can take it easy and we’ll celebrate too and break through…”, whilst we add Phantom to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and continue to stream Riggs‘ wider discography including She, and The Vibe and the Mood.
