Gunna originally began dropping hints that a deluxe was in the works last month, but he failed to give a release date.Are you excited for the deluxe version of WUNNA? Feel free to send us a message to let us know your reaction.
This weekend, Gunna shared some details about the body of work himself, explaining that he has added eight brand new songs to the tracklist. This continues a recent trend in hip-hop, where deluxe versions have basically morphed into separate albums.
Initially, Gunna began dropping hints that a deluxe was on the way in June, making the announcement but omitting when it would drop. Now, we know that it will be uploaded to streaming services this week.
Let us know if you'll be checking out the reloaded version of the chart-topping project.
In other Young Thug & Gunna news, the former recently copped a new Rolls-Royce for the drip-obsessed rapper, surprising him on his birthday. Gunna and Lil Keed, another one of Thug's artists, were also involved in a shooting while they were filming the video for "Fox 5." Neither artist was harmed.
This is the deluxe version of Gunna’s long-awaited album Wunna. The tracklist has not been confirmed yet. Same for the cover art but at one point in time Gunna’s second Instagram account “Wunna” the profile picture had that same cover art shown above. As shown below there are many snippets that Gunna has played on his Instagram live or through Instagram posts and stories. When a tracklist is confirmed, it will be implemented into Genius and everything concerning this album will be updated.
Gunna was introduced to American rapper Young Thug through Keith "King" Troup, a mutual friend and community figure who died in December 2015.
Gunna was later featured on Young Thug's "Floyd Mayweather" in August 2016. The song is from Young Thug's mixtape, Jeffery, and also features vocals from American rappers Travis Scott and Gucci Mane.[5][6] Also, in October 2016, Gunna released his debut mixtape Drip Season through YSL Records.
He released the mixtape Drip Season 2 in May 2017.[8] He released the EP Drip or Drown, with YSL producer and close friend Wheezy, who entirely produced the EP.[9] His song "YSL" featuring American rapper Playboi Carti was on a "Grand Theft Auto" radio station.[10] The album's title track "Drip or Drown" was remixed featuring vocals from American rapper Lil Yachty and was included on his mixtape, Drip Season 3, in February 2018.
He released the Drip Season 3 in February 2018. The mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and featured vocals from Lil Yachty, Lil Durk, Nav, Metro Boomin, and Lil Uzi Vert, among others.
Another close friend of Gunna is American rapper Lil Baby. The duo showed their chemistry in early 2018 through various singles, such as Gunna's "Sold Out Dates", featuring Baby, which received millions of streams on platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud. Gunna was also featured on Travis Scott's "Yosemite",[12] which was considered the most popular song in which he used the word "drip".[13] The song is from Scott's third studio album, Astroworld, and also features vocals from Nav, whose voice was mixed unusually quietly in the song and was the subject of the memes and jokes.
The comments on Nav's vocals got to the point where he even acknowledged them, poking fun at his own vocals on his Instagram. Scott and the song's producer, Mike Dean, turned up his vocals a week after the song's release.[14] Scott's verse in "Yosemite" mimics Gunna's verse in "Sold Out Dates".[15] In October 2018, he and Lil Baby released their collaborative album, Drip Harder, which includes the lead single, "Drip Too Hard," which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200.[7]
In February 2019, he released his debut studio album Drip or Drown 2 featuring artists Lil Baby, Young Thug and Playboi Carti.[16] It charted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and its lead single, certified platinum, "One Call", was released exactly three weeks before the album and charted at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
He peaked at the number one spot on Apple Music for his feature on Young Thug's single "Hot". It served as the lead single for Thug's debut studio album, So Much Fun, which released in August 2019. "Hot" was given a remix in October 2019 with an extra verse from Travis Scott. The song eventually peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[17] Gunna is also featured on "Surf" from the album, as well as "Diamonds" from the deluxe version, released in December 2019.
