Wunna season has officially begun; Gunna has unveiled his long-awaited fifth studio album, One of Wun. Across the impressive 20-track offering, the rapper proves that he’s in his own lane and is, indeed one of wun.

The album arrives less than a year after the feature-free a Gift & a Curse and includes contributions from Drip Season 2 collaborator Offset on “prada dem”, Normani on “$$$”, Leon Bridges on “clear my rain”  and Roddy Ricch on “let it breathe.” However, Gunna handles most of the bars himself, flexing his fluid flow, infused with slick shoutouts and designer name-drops.

“One-of-one bitches, they tens / One of one, never again (One of one),” he raps on the title track. “Wun get the cake and the butter, I count it like hustle, the money all-in / Ridin’ around town in a drop-top coupe and the motor in the trunk, you can hear it (Skrrt) / Think all about how they want me to lose, but I’m W, due for a win.”

Later on in the track, he gets in his fashion bag. “I’m the best dressed at the Met (The Met) / The wave in her dress, I know how to dress (I know how to dress) / I turn the drip to a flex (Flex) / I still got the check, I poke out my chest.”

The rapper touches a lot on his style influences throughout the project. “I’m wearing clothes differently now,” he told Apple Music of his style. “It’s not just about the name. It’s more like really where it comes from or the cut of it.”

Gunna just kicked off his Bittersweet North American Tour, which has taken the first handful of cities by storm – complete with immersive set designs, striking outfits, and support from Flo Milli.

Stream One of Wun – out everywhere now.
