Bread & Butter

Gunna Teases Unreleased Snippet After Announcing New Album

by

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.

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.

The intense social media debate surrounding Gunna’s status as a “rat” after he took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case is almost too tiresome at this point. Sure, some of that is because of other legal issues that came about, but it’s also just infected every possible way of observing his movement. For example, not even a social media clip of inmates enjoying his music video for “bread & butter” can go without a jab at his “snitch” status. While such situations are always hard to assess from an outside perspective (as many fans have tried to), it can feel frustrating to argue about that when so much of the YSL trial is still in limbo.

Regardless, the video captures a group of people gathered around a TV screen in prison, where you can faintly see that Gunna’s latest music video for his latest single is playing. It’s unclear whether they’re also singing along, although some are clearly enjoying the video to some degree. It’s not very surprising considering the truckloads of people within and outside of the media that continue to show their support. With more new music promised to be on the way, it’s unlikely that the College Park native will lose his fanbase quickly.

However, there are other places where the “Banking On Me” artist’s music isn’t getting the same warm reception. In fact, a recent clip of Gunna playing at an Atlanta club sums up the negative emotions that many view his music through these days, with the whole venue going silent and still once his verse appeared. It’s an extreme reaction, whether out of solidarity for Young Thug or to hop on a snitch-bashing trend. No matter the case, it shows how contentious his case continues to be in the public eye.

Meanwhile, rappers themselves perhaps seem even more harsh and critical of the 29-year-old’s actions than fans themselves. Former collaborators cut ties entirely, others have left question marks on their relationship, and many who frankly don’t have a lot to do with him expressed their dislike. Yet it doesn’t matter who’s bumping his music where or for what reason: he seems here to stay in the near future, and probably beyond.
