Gunplay – “Be Like Me” (Feat. Rick Ross)
Embattled Miami rapper Gunplay’s Living Legend is finally coming out at the end of this month, and we’ve already heard the YG-featuring lead single “Wuzhanindoe.” The second track we’re hearing from the project is a collaboration with Gunplay’s Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross called “Be Like Me.” From the ominous, fast-paced trap production to Ross’ promise that he has a chopper in his vehicle, it reminds me of Lil Wayne and Ross’ fantastic 2011 hit “John.” For his part, Gunplay brings his usual insanity and aggression — shooting grannies off of rockers and whatnot — and the results go as hard as you’d hope for. Listen below.
Living Legend is out 7/31 on Def Jam/MMG.
