PreSeason is the third studio album by American rapper Lefty Gunplay,released on September 18, 2024 under OTR Records. The 22-minute album leans heavily into raw street narratives, featuring collaborations with artists like Mac Critter, DeeBaby, Benjirow, Lil Maru, and Skrilla. Dropped during a highly active 2024 run for Lefty Gunplay[1] just months before his major national breakout feature on Kendrick Lamar's track "TV Off"[2] from the album GNX.
The album features heavy street-level cuts alongside artists like Mac Critter, DeeBaby, and Skrilla. Continues his signature brash, violent West Coast street narratives, though it flew largely under the mainstream critical radar compared to major collaborative efforts like Can't Get Right. Unlike his heavily reviewed joint works, PreSeason functioned more as a loose-knit tape for core fans rather than a major commercial or critically dissected rollout. Listeners on community databases treated it as a minor entry in his fast-paced 2024–2025 output cycle, lacking the broader production-value praise that followed his work with JasonMartin or Kendrick Lamar[3]-adjacent momentum.
