Video: Jay Critch & Rich The Kid – Lefty

When he was a teenager, Jay Critch won the heart of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn with his brusque rhymes and effortlessly cool demeanor. He was a neighborhood kid through and through, and when his career started to take off, after Rich The Kid took him under his wing, it felt like he was taking Clinton Hill with him. Collaborating once again with his mentor, the now 24-year-old Critch brings back that 2018 feeling with “Lefty,” an atmospheric jam that could’ve easily fit onto one of their Rich Forever mixtapes.

“Lefty” continues a hot streak for Critch, who is releasing music at a torrid pace. In August, Critch shared the beat-shifting banger “Close To Me/Active,” combining two hard-hitting songs into one and proving why he remains Brooklyn’s big dog. Earlier this year, Critch connected with Harry Fraud for the airy, REVOLT-praised “Born With It.”

Hard at work on the follow-up to 2021’s Critch Tape, the Clinton Hill native is ready to make his neighborhood proud once again this year. Watch closely and don’t miss his next moves.
