Less than a year after his comeback project "a Gift & a Curse," and in the middle of his tour, Gunna kept his foot on the gas.

Less than a year after Gunna's comeback album a Gift & a Curse following a prison stint, he wasted no time in giving fans the one-two punch with his brand-new LP, One Of Wun. Moreover, with features from Offset, Normani, Roddy Ricch, and Leon Bridges across 20 songs, there's a lot of room for bangers... as well as disappointment. However, from what the general social media reception to the project has looked like in its first hours on the market, it seems like fans are quite satisfied with this record. Of course, we'll have to see how it ages and what more scrutinized critical reception looks like, but right now, it seems like he took a W here.

Moreover, Gunna also raised eyebrows with some particular bars here and there that many fans interpreted as subliminal shots at other rappers. For example, some bars on here relate to paying for abs and having writers, which some people think might've been aimed at Drake and Lil Baby. Still, that's just speculation at the moment, just like a lot of rumors surrounding him and his rap allegiances right now. The College Park MC entered a tough situation when he made his plea deal in the YSL RICO case, although it's been heartening to see his return.

Elsewhere, people also thought that Gunna and Future had some issues to work out, as fans theorized that they would go head-to-head with new projects this week based on some alleged social media shots. Fewtch ended up dropping a single, not a mixtape, so we'll see whether this narrative persists throughout One Of Wun's hype cycle. Apart from those narrative caveats, this is a Wunna album through and through, so we'd highly recommend you give it a shot if you've ever liked his material in the past.
