The release of Gunna’s “bread & butter” proved that the snitching allegations against him didn’t really matter when it came to music. Gunna, who many believe cooperated with authorities in the YSL RICO case, returned to the fold earlier this month with his first post-prison release. The single debuted at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- an impressive feat for a rapper shunned by the majority of the hip-hop community. Still, such a stride for his first single strongly indicates that he’s coming for summer 2023.
With his upcoming album, A Gift & A Curse reportedly due out this Friday, the rapper has shared a new snippet of music. On Wednesday night, Gunna shared a new snippet to the ‘Gram to celebrate his birthday. The record finds Gunna bringing his breezy melodious flow to the center and it’s certainly building excitement for what he has in store on his next project. At this point, he hasn’t revealed a title but it seems like we could potentially hear it tonight.

Gunna’s Return
The Atlanta star was arrested last year as part of a sweeping YSL RICO indictment that currently has Young Thug behind bars. After spending months behind bars, he got out ahead of the holidays after copping an Alford Plea. His attorney and other legal experts explained that the deal wouldn’t effect the other co-defendants but still, many felt that he threw Young Thug under the bus when he admitted that YSL was a gang and stated that the guns and drugs found in his car weren’t his.
While people like Boosie and Lil Durk slammed Gunna for copping a plea, the Wunna rapper addressed the backlash on his latest single. “Never gave no statement or agreed to take no stand on ‘em,” he raps in regards to his decision to take a plea. Elsewhere in the song, he seemingly addressed those in the rap community who distanced themselves from him. “You bitch-ass n****s got me as the topic of the chat / You switched on me when you know you in business with a rat / And the boy that’s like your brother, ain’t nobody speak on that,” he continued. Although many felt like it was a shot at Lil Baby, Gunna later denied that was the case. Check out the new snippet from Gunna above.
