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 Mixtape:
Providing a low-key spin on ATL’s trap revolution, Gunna’s unique style converted some of the city’s most important tastemakers into fans. Returning with a sonically rich and star-studded effort, Gunna shares Drip Season 3, his new mixtape. Flashing a quiet charisma over spacious and heady instrumentals from the likes of Metro Boomin, Wheezy, Richie Souf, 808 Mafia, Turbo, and more, Gunna packs each track with hypnotic flows and sneakily infectious hooks. Released by Young Thug‘s YSL imprint, Drip Season 3 signals the making of an idiosyncratic star, and the acknowledgement of Gunna’s rising influence in the ATL scene. Featuring appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Lil Baby, Hoodrich Pablo Juan and more with production from Metro Boomin’, Richie Souf, Wheezy, & Turbo, Drip Season 3 marks Gunna’s ascent from sidekick to the star of his own show.
Last month, Gunna shared “Almighty,” the mixtape’s lead single, which was premiered by Billboardand features an appearance from Hoodrich Pablo Juan. Featuring frantic hi-hats, rattling snares, and sinister keys courtesy of producer Turbo, “Almighty” finds Gunna and special guest Hoodrich Pablo Juan worshipping the almighty dollar, listing all the luxury items nthey possess and you don’t. Last week, Gunna released the “Almighty” music video. In the video, which has over 184k views on YouTube since its release last week, the two rappers organize a party at and around the strip club, accompanied by Young Thug, Key Glock, and other homies and ladies. Released by YSL, Drip Season 3 is available for stream and purchase.

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.
