In a lively text conversation, Kendrick Lamar showered Lefty Gunplay with praise for his new album.
Kendrick Lamar has a knack for recognizing talent. Recently, he congratulated Lefty Gunplay on his collaborative album ‘Can’t Get Right’ with JasonMartin. Gunplay, a rising star from the West Coast, had previously made waves with his feature on Lamar’s hit ‘TV Off.’
In an exchange seen in a screenshot, JasonMartin texted Lamar, “Mission accomplished,” alongside the album link. Lamar’s response was enthusiastic: “Wow. Y’all did that! I appreciate this too much dawg. The first album of a new artist from GNX. And it’s going up. I’m bout to thump it out here. I’m proud of Lefty.” It’s clear Lamar holds Gunplay in high regard.
Gunplay, in a chat with Bootleg Kev, revealed that Kendrick has more music in the works. “He has some stuff,” Gunplay said. “We did two, three songs. He told me we’re going to work again, for sure.” The anticipation is building with hints of a deluxe version in the pipeline, though Lamar remains secretive about it.
Working with Kendrick comes with its own set of challenges. Gunplay shared that he signed a non-disclosure agreement, emphasizing how secretive things had to be. “We signed NDAs,” he said. “I almost blew it. ’Cause I couldn’t wait to tell everybody.”
Recalling his time with Kendrick in the studio, Gunplay said, “He’s been locked in with me since April and he said that I’m the missing piece that the West Coast needed.” An enormous compliment by any measure, especially coming from someone like Lamar.
Meanwhile, ‘TV Off’ continues its successful run, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Lamar even performed it during his Super Bowl Halftime Show, though Gunplay didn’t join him on stage.
With all the buzz around his current and future projects, Gunplay’s journey in the music scene looks promising. His collaboration with Kendrick Lamar might just be the beginning of a much larger story.
Kendrick Lamar’s endorsement is a significant milestone for Lefty Gunplay, as he breaks new ground in the music scene. With talks of future collaborations and more music underway, Gunplay’s potential continues to grow. Lamar’s recognition serves as a strong testament to the emerging artist’s talent and promise.
