unnamed-39 Cico P Teams Up with Kevin Gates for "Half The Time" & Shares 'Nawfjaxx' Release Date

Riding a wave of viral momentum with his hit song “Tampa,Cico P is seizing his moment. Coming through with a melodic and sensual new video single, Cico shares “Half The Time.” A collaboration with heavy-hitter Kevin Gates, “Half The Time” is a change of pace for the Jacksonville, Texas rapper, trading in his clipped triplets for languid auto-tune as he declares his X-rated intentions. Cico and Gates display a fruitful chemistry, their bottom-of-the-map drawls dovetailing around submerged organ and crisp handclaps, as they work through their feelings, which vacillate between tender and lustful.

In the video, Cico P and Kevin Gates share intimate moments with their lady friends and show off their luxury coupes. Following up the engaging, hometown-set video for  “Boogieee,” “Half The Time” is the latest video from NawfjaxxCico’s next project. Delving into Cico’s upbringing in his small East Texas town, and exploring the ins-and-outs of being a rising rap star, Nawfjaxx arrives on July 14th.

“Half The Time” arrives amidst the meteoric rise of Cico’s single “Tampa,” which peaked at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May. Originally released in late 2019, the song began its steep climb in March when the song, and particularly its lyric “that boy bad news he a menace to society,” became the center of a popular TikTok trend, inspiring over 137k video creations and propelling “Tampa” to the top of Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart.
