When Lefty Gunplay steps into frame, the camera doesn’t blink. What’s My Name arrives with high-voltage presence, a West Coast anthem sharpened by survival and sharpened again by victory. The hook lands like a declaration, “Hi, my name is,” equal parts taunt and triumph. Built on pounding production from MyGuyMars, JasonMartin, and Lefty himself, the record moves with chest-out intensity, while the video crystallizes the moment. His delivery feels tighter, more deliberate from a man who has endured nearly a decade incarcerated, now staring directly into the lens of global attention without flinching. He says:
Winning that Grammy wasn’t just a win for me, but a win for every Latino kid in the hood. To be the first Latino rapper to hold that trophy is a heavy honor. My message to the community is simple, never give up on your dreams, no matter how far away they seem. I’m grateful for Kendrick to present the opportunity, but I’m even more grateful to show my people that we belong at the top
Fresh off becoming the first Latino rapper to win a Grammy in a major rap category for his contribution to Kendrick Lamar’s TV Off, Lefty channels that milestone into something visual and visceral. With ESPN tapping “What’s My Name” for 2026 NBA promotional spots and his catalog climbing into the hundreds of millions of streams, Lefty’s presence is expanding beyond hip-hop into culture at large. From Baldwin Park to the Grammy stage, this chapter signals more. Watch the “What’s My Name” video and connect with a new era of West Coast dominance on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Apple Music, and Spotify.
