Critical Praise for Gunna:
“He’s got the skillset to be considered an equal rapping partner to Thug.” – HotNewHipHop
“Delivering a raw energy and passion for his craft on stage, fans of [Gunna] across the country have been catching the wave and downloading his latest effort Drip Season 2.” – RESPECT
The Announcement:
A brash ATLien with a soft-spoken charisma, Gunna is taking over the streets with his hypnotic flow. Returning with a new batch of bangers, Gunna announces Drip Season 3, his upcoming mixtape. The follow-up to last year’s Drip Season 2 and the Wheezy-produced EP Drip or Drown, Drip Season 3 is a level-up for Gunna, packed with head-nodding hooks and fist-raising anthems. Affiliated with Young Thug’s YSL imprint, Drip Season 3 is the acknowledgement of Gunna’s rising influence in the ATL scene, ascending from sidekick to the likes of Young Thug to the star of his own show. Featuring appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Hodrich Pablo Juan and more with production from Metro Boomin’, Richie Souf, Wheezy, & Turbo, Drip Season 3 releases via YSL on February 2nd.
To accompany the announcement, Gunna shares “Almighty,” a lurching, low-key trap anthem. Featuring frantic hi-hats, rattling snares, and sinister keys courtesy of Turbo, “Almighty” finds Gunna and special guest Hoodrich Pablo Juan worshipping the almighty dollar, listing all the luxury items they possess and you don’t. Premiered by Billboard, the track is an excellent preview for Drip Season 3, building on Gunna’s street hits such as “YSL” ft. Playboi Carti. Stay tuned for more music from Gunna ahead of Drip Season 3‘s release on February 2nd.

The Background
College Park, Georgia-based rapper Gunna became interested in music and rapping as a hobby in his early teens, but got more serious about the possibility of a career in hip-hop around 2016, when he was introduced to Atlanta MC Young Thug by a mutual friend. The two developed a friendship, and before long Gunna was in the studio hopping on Young Thug‘s track “Floyd Mayweather,” where he lent a verse alongside rap superstars Gucci Mane and Travis Scott. That feature was enough to jettison Gunna into relative fame, and he was soon signed to Young Thug‘s YSL imprint. By late 2016 he’d released the Drip Season mixtape and followed it with Drip Season 2 in the summer of 2017 and toured the US with Playboi Carti. In the fall of 2017 he released a collab EP with producer Wheezy titled Drip or Drown which has had great streaming success and is priming his fans for the release of the much anticipated Drip Season 3.
