In November of 2012 Le1f had a feature on 'Fuckin the DJ', a song off Mykki Blanco's mixtape "Cosmic Angel: The Illuminati Prince/ss". The same month he also released an EP with artist Boody; it was called "Liquid" and featured the single 'Soda'.
On Januray 28, 2013 Le1f released his sophomore mixtape "Fly Zone", which featured the song 'Spa Day'. The project included features from artists such as Spank Rock, Haleek Maul, Kitty, DonChristian, SAFE, and Rahel.
On September 18, 2013 Le1f released his third mixtape "Tree House", which includes the song 'Hush Bb'. In an interview with Fuse the rapper said of the project, "Tree House is all these love songs over experimental trap beats... I want people to have sex to it."
Le1f released his debut studio album "Riot Boi" on November 13, 2015. The album contains songs that feature artists Junglepussy, House of Ladosha, DonChristian, Miss Geri, and Dev Hynes.
