Lefty Gunplay has Los Angeles on lock. Bred from the streets of San Gabriel Valley, Lefty (aka Franklin Holladay) is known for his ability to immerse you with his raw honesty -- not biting his tongue when it comes to detailing the gritty scenes that surround him. He's the true definition of a "ghetto superstar." However, music is what saves him from the warfare that wages in the streets of South Central, describing his songs as "therapy" -- for better or worse. Fully embodying the brash lifestyle most rappers put on a front for, Lefty's in the midst of preparing for his next album -- which he wrote behind bars -- that looks to dispel any doubts of his talents as an emcee and entertainer. With new music on the way -- along with a few film opportunities lined up -- the "hottest rapper in Los Angeles" spoke on the state of LA rap, Nipsey Hussle, love-bombing, his tight-knit relationship with OTR Records and more in this Our Generation Music exclusive interview, hosted by Hakeem Rowe and presented by PrizePicks.

As crazy as he might come off to a lot of ppl, Lefty is a real one 💯. He speaks nothing but his truth. He don’t fake it. He keeps it real. If he would try be something he’s not, he would get more hate and ppl would say he’s fake. Can’t see a real one winning. Shout out to Lefty 🔥.

[@FlorencioVillain]

I think we all like that about dude even the haters lmao one thing I can't agree with this dude on is the gang shit it can be his demise if hebtakes it for granted, also he always low-key dissing his own son.

[@GSweetz_]

@@FlorencioVillain Trust, I get what you’re saying on the whole kid situation but at least he’s being honest and owning up to it . Other man can’t admit they not there for their kids. It is what it is, but once his time comes and he’s ready to be a dad, everything will land on its own place. He’s where he’s supposed to be at right now, it’s just the beginning.

[@sokof6001]

More than likely he’s gonna do a podcast after ranking out on his varrio!! It’s not a good look when you get called out for a fade . He could’ve handled his business off camera, looks weak and a form of cowardest acts.

[@Manny91352]

Get in the booth And spit sum shit

[@ablazingstar562]

Riches is not always a blessing. Being rich in faith is. If you have money but not relationship with the you pretty much have nothing. Only God can fill that void we all feel. Listen to Lefty’s interviews and he will tell you he is not happy even though he came up and has money.

[@mbecerra2010]

He’s a good kid with a broken outlook and heart only god knows.

[@themfoosdidit]
