Lefty Gunplay and JasonMartin Put Out Can’t Get Right Album

Lefty Gunplay‘s appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s hit song “TV Off” has given the newcomer fresh momentum. He joins forces with veteran Compton, Calif. rapper JasonMartin, formerly known as Problem, on the new project, Can’t Get Right. The offering consists of 15 songs and features a left-coast leaning guestlist including The Game, Ty Dolla $ign, RJMrLA, Wallie The Sensei and more. Originally set to drop on May 2, the LP was pushed back by a week. “I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY,” Lefty recently noted on Instagram. “I POURED MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS ALBUM.”
