In just a few short years, Gunna grew from being a protegé of Young Thug into one of rap's most exciting contemporary voices. He appeared on Thug's "Floyd Mayweather" in 2016 after being introduced by a mutual friend, and the Atlanta native has since used melodic vocals, hypnotising beats and fashionable flair to add extra drip to tracks with Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Future and others. While teamwork with other Southern visionaries built his buzz, a solid mixtape run capped by solo albums Drip or Drown 2 (2019) and WUNNA—which debuted atop the Billboard 200—proved that he's also an all-star in his own right.
