Lucci — whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett — has been busy throughout 2020 despite coronavirus social distance precautions. In fact, he even appears to have been inspired by them, as his most recent video release was “COVID-19” just a month ago. Before that, he commented on the state of “America” in a video he shot, ironically, in Germany. Before 2020, his biggest release was the video for “All Night Long” with Trey Songz, but this year, he accumulated an impressive 21 million views for “7.62.” It appears that he’s in position for a huge breakout when things setle down, so it’s fortunate for him no one on his set was seriously injured.
YFN Lucci is a Warner Music artist. .
