Lefty Gunplay has released Just Another Day, his first move in a stretch where more people are watching him than at any point before. The song arrived on August 27 and is being framed as a step up rather than a holding release.
The reason for the attention is a single guest verse. His feature on tv off, from Kendrick Lamar's album GNX, was an unexpected placement that pushed him well past the audience he had, and it remains the reference point for anyone encountering his name for the first time.
He has used the period since to change how he works. He has spoken about getting sober, and Just Another Day is presented as the product of that stretch rather than as a continuation of what came before it.
The improvement is audible in the writing. The track shows tighter rhyme schemes and more control than his earlier material, which matters for an artist whose next problem is proving that the Lamar feature was not the ceiling.
He also puts Lamar directly into the song. That is a reasonable choice given how much the collaboration meant to him, though it does tie the new work to the old moment at exactly the point where separation might serve him better.
The GNX guest list has been an unusually effective launch pad, and this site has covered its knock-on effects, including producer Dahi announcing a debut album with Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino on it and the litigation around Lamar's catalogue in 1000Milan asking a jury to settle his m.A.A.d City credit claim. The hip-hop release sits on the release calendar.
