Rapper Rico 2 Smoove recently sat down for an interview with Vlad, where he discussed Lefty Gunplay's contribution to Kendrick Lamar’s album "GNX". Responding to Lefty having only four bars on the track, Rico expressed his disappointment, saying, "It was bunk because he only got four bars." Though acknowledging the feature’s significance for Lefty, especially as a half-Latino artist, Rico emphasized the importance of strong backup from a solid management team that could market their artist effectively. While praising Lefty’s management for leveraging the opportunity, Rico noted, "They are using him as a marketing strategy."
Despite the minimal spotlight on Lefty's part, Rico recognized the benefit of being featured on an album associated with an artist as towering as Kendrick Lamar. Moreover, he acknowledged that even a few bars could increase visibility in the industry. Ultimately, Rico kept a positive tone, giving props to Lefty for seizing the opportunity and to his team for their strategic management.
