FRATPACKER WORLD.

Gunna is putting on a master class in how to shut up and work. The man just pops out, drops a fire project and hits the gym. He is looking like he doesn’t know how to make a bad project right now.

The buzz word when putting together an album these days is cohesion and that is something Gunna has on lock. The rapper has mastered the art of having a sonic golden thread through his projects. He has found himself at the sweet spot where you can type “Gunna type beat” and you will get some respectable Gunna-esque instrumentals with that search. He’s carved and perfected his sound. The album has his signature ambient, hypnotic, swaggy trance like sound (I mean you can have the lo-fi girl on YouTube study endless to this album). The production serves as a great background for his melancholic yet motivational, ambitious and swaggy bars.

Although he is on “shut up and work” mode, he is far from unaware. On prototype he sends an awareness bar – “n*ggas had tweeted my name must’ve had to be a typo” . This can be interpreted in many ways and may be directed to a number of people. One thing’s for sure, Wunna is watching it all play out while churning out bangers at the same time.

Wunna has also proven to be heavily tapped in with African the music scene. From his collab with Tyla, kicking it with Foca and having fire African features on this album, it’s clear he knows where the sauce is. Wiz, Burna and Asake all have stand out moments on the project (shoutout to the saxophone on “WGFT”).

It’s clear that Gunna has been on a mission to prove all his naysayers wrong and on the run that he has been on he is clearing succeeding. Like he says on track 23 “thought I wasn’t gon make it/ I showed them”. From his work rate to his workout regime it’s clear that the man is chasing health and wealth not clout. This is project definitely cements his sound and global reach.
