The Ones: Puffy L’z’s “Front Gate” [ft. Giggs]

The must-hear rap song of the day

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear curated by the Levels team. We sort through all the new songs—across all the platforms and subgenres—so you don’t have to. Thank us later.

Puffy L’z - “Front Gate” [ft. Giggs]

Only good things are happening in Toronto right now: the Raptors just brought the city a ring, Kawhi Leonard has embraced the meme, and Drake is being Drake. The city is riding on a high, so it’s only right that we acknowledge the recent return of Halal Gang rapper Puffy L’z. On “Front Gate,” Puffy L’z hops on a heavy hitting Maaly Raw beat for three minutes of slick talk in his cocky and unhurried delivery. The UK’s Giggs features on the track and Puffy L’z is beaming, paying homage to the longtime emcee by reciting one of his most infamous lines: “Batman, da na na na.” “Front Gate” is yet another moment for Toronto and now all the song needs is a video of Kawhi putting all of his energy into shouting Puffy L’z’s signature “Ahwoolay.”
