Gunna Returns With “A Gift A Curse” Album

he Atlanta Rapper Returns with a Personal Offering Amid Controversy

Gunna, the Atlanta-based rapper, has made a triumphant return to the music scene with his latest album, “A Gift A Curse.” Released on his 30th birthday, this album marks his first full-length release since his release from jail in late 2022. The album, which runs for 45 minutes, is unique in the current music landscape as it features no guest appearances, a rarity in today’s collaborative music scene.

The album’s release follows a period of controversy and speculation surrounding Gunna. In May 2022, the rapper, his label head Young Thug, and 26 others were arrested as part of a massive RICO sting involving Thug’s Young Stoner Life label. Prosecutors have argued that YSL is a gang responsible for massive criminal activity and must be disbanded. Gunna was released in December after striking a plea deal, which led to allegations of snitching from his peers and collaborators.

Gunna addressed these allegations in his recent single “Bread & Butter,” which is included in the new album. The song sparked speculation that he was taking aim at his many-time collaborator Lil Baby, which he swiftly denied. The album also contains more bars pertaining to the YSL case and Gunna’s plea, notably in the track “I Was Just Thinking.”

Despite the controversy, Gunna’s new album has been met with anticipation and interest. The 15-track project is a personal offering from the rapper to his fans, and it’s clear that he’s not letting the controversy slow him down. As he raps on “Bread & Butter,” “Never gave no statement or agreed to take no stand on ’em… Lawyers and the DA did some sneaky s*** I fell for it… On my P’s and Q’s because this time I be prepared for it.”

“A Gift A Curse” is now available on all major streaming platforms, marking a new chapter in Gunna’s career. The rapper’s return to the music scene is a testament to his resilience and determination to continue creating music, despite the challenges he has faced.
