"'Castro'" is a song by American rapper Yo Gotti, which features Kanye West, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Quavo. It was released on December 16, 2016, as one of multiple singles from Gotti's 2016 mixtape 'White Friday (CM9)'. It is a hip hop song.
Background
The song's title is a reference to Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who died within the same month of its release. Prior to "Castro" being released, West was with Gotti in Los Angeles when premiering his "Saint Pablo" record.
Critical reception
Tom Breihan of 'Stereogum' described the track as 'a skittery, synthetic banger' and showed disappointment in West's feature when writing: 'Does a song like this make you feel any better about Kanye West right now? It doesn't make me feel any better about Kanye West.' 'The FADER's Will Bundy branded it as 'a monster posse cut'.
Commercial performance
"Castro" charted at number 16 on the US 'Billboard' Bubbling Under Hot 100 on January 14, 2017, around a month after having been released as a single.
