Lefty Gunplay Samples Chicano Cult Classic On “Heavens Above” With JasonMartin

Apr 3, 2025

The music scene is buzzing with the release of “Heavens Above,” a captivating collaboration between Lefty Gunplay, JasonMartin and Mike & Keys. What makes this track particularly special is its incorporation of one of the most iconic songs from the early 2000s: Amanda Perez’s hit “Angel.”

Lefty came up with the idea of sampling the soulful melodies of “Angel,” then told Jason, who brought in Grammy Nominated duo Mike & Keys to bring the song’s vision to life. Not only does the song pay homage to an unforgettable classic, but also highlights the incredible growth that Baldwin Park’s very own Lefty Gunplay has experienced throughout his musical career.

The release of “Heavens Above” is a defining moment for Lefty Gunplay. Hailing from Baldwin Park, Lefty has always been known for his raw talent, but this new track showcases just how much he’s evolved as an artist. His growth over the year is evident in his refined production choices, more introspective lyricism, and his ability to seamlessly merge classic sounds with contemporary vibes.
