Lefty Gunplay Tells His Life Story

<p>In this new VladTV exclusive, LA rapper Lefty Gunplay opens up about his tumultuous upbringing, marked by his mixed heritage and absence of his father.

Lefty candidly describes the hardships of growing up in a trailer park and turning to the streets at the age of 13, seeking the fatherly guidance he was denied at home through local gangs. By 14, Lefty faced arrest for an alleged shooting incident, leading to a brutal three-year stint in juvenile detention. Despite these early challenges, Lefty's experiences have significantly influenced his music and persona. Throughout the rest of the interview, Lefty Gunplay details overcoming incarceration throughout his 20s to breaking through as a rising rap star.</p>
