Drip Season 4

Gunna Delivers A Stripped-Down Live Performance In His Moody ‘Life Of Sin’ Video

by

Gunna’s wave continues to crest. The Atlanta rapper’s latest album DS4EVER edged out The Weeknd’s Dawn FM to become the No.1-selling album this week after dropping the singles “Too Easy,” “Livin Wild,” and “Pushin P.” Today, he keeps the rollout rolling out with the video for “Life Of Sin,” which is presented as a moody, stripped-down live performance in a similar style to his COLORS performance of “Top Off.”

Posted up in a white-walled performance space, Gunna foregoes any fancy adornments and he stands and delivers the motivational lyrics from “Life Of Sin” wearing a vest and a beret. A chilly autumn scene is projected on the walls and ceiling behind him, and a sprinkling of fallen leaves provides a lonely pop of color in the black-and-white photography, supporting the contemplative mood of the song itself.

Part of Gunna’s strategy to get DS4EVER to the top of the albums chart was to release a reshuffled deluxe edition mid-week, adding four new songs amid the original 19. It clearly paid off, buoying him to his second no. 1 with just 2,300 sales difference between Gunna and second-place, The Weeknd.

DS4EVER is out now via 300 and Atlantic. Get it here.

Gunna And Future Really Sell Their New Slang In The NSFW-Ish ‘Pushin P’ Video With Young Thug

by

Gunna is really trying to make “fetch” happen with his new single “Pushin P” featuring Future and Young Thug. The three Atlanta rappers sell their newfangled slang term as hard as they can in the NSFW-ish video, even inserting little interludes of them using it in everyday life while they party at a strip club. Whether or not it’ll catch on remains to be seen, but the song itself has proven to be one of the fans’ favorites from Gunna’s new album DS4EVER, which just dropped last Friday and is on track for a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200 next week.

In addition to “Pushin P,” Gunna’s campaign for the album has included the singles “Too Easy” and “Livin Wild,” as well as a video for the remix of “Too Easy” featuring frequent collaborator Roddy Ricch. Gunna also released a deluxe edition of the new album just days after the original, sprinkling four new songs in amidst a tracklist that featured 21 Savage, G Herbo, Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Nechie, Yung Bleu, and Gunna’s possible girlfriend Chloe Bailey on the Jon B-sampling “You & Me.” And for fans who just can’t get enough of Gunna this week, he’s also listed as a feature on Cordae’s upcoming album, From A Bird’s Eye View.

Gunna Recounts A Harrowing Trip To The ICU In His ‘Livin Wild’ Video

by

In Gunna’s new video for “Livin Wild,” the rapper ends up with the ICU, from which his friends abruptly remove him against the advice of the attending physician. The video declares that it’s “based on a true story” — which is eerily close to that of Gunna’s rap game mentor Young Thug, who was hospitalized for liver and kidney failure and recounted the harrowing experience in April of 2020.

“Livin Wild” is the second video from Gunna’s new album, DS4EVER, after the “Too Easy” remix featuring Future and Roddy Ricch. Gunna released the album this past Friday after announcing its arrival on New Year’s Day. The project was the buzz of social media after two of its standout songs drew attention for different reasons. While “Pushin P” intrigued fans with its newfangled slang, “Thought I Was Playing” sparked a mini-debate about the trigger for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s recent divorce thanks to 21 Savage’s insistence that he dumped her.

Speaking of romantic entanglements, Gunna himself is at the center of speculation after he was seen holding hands with Beyonce protege Chloe — just after denying that the two were ever dating in the first place.

Gunna Finds A Variety Of Tasks ‘Too Easy’ In His New Video With Future And Roddy Ricch

by

Gunna, Future, and Roddy Ricch try their hands at numerous careers in their tongue-in-cheek “Too Easy” remix video, finding them all, well, too easy. The video is the latest from Gunna’s new mixtape DS4EVER, the fourth and final installment in his long-running Drip Season, which dropped today. While the song itself preceded the release, the video just arrived this morning to pull more eyeballs toward the highly anticipated project.

Among the tasks the three rappers try out, Gunna becomes a wilderness explorer, an expert mountaineer, and a touchdown-grabbing wide receiver. Meanwhile, Future joins Gunna as a pair of news anchors/weathermen who judge a beauty pageant and gets into some Scottish games, including tug-o-war, rock-throwing, and bagpiping. Roddy, meanwhile, becomes a lounge pianist — not far off from his real-life skillset — and gets his Wu-Tang Clan on at a Shaolin temple.

In addition to Future and Roddy, Gunna’s new project has also gotten attention for a number of its other guests including Young Thug, who raps with his protege Gunna on “Pushin P,” Chloe Bailey, who once again sparked dating rumors with Gunna after they were seen holding hands, and 21 Savage, whose punchline comparing Ye and Kim’s divorce to a dropped murder weapon sparked a mini-debate on Twitter about who actually did the dumping.

21 Savage Insists Kanye Dumped Kim (And Not The Other Way Around) On Gunna’s New Album

by

It’s often said that there are two sides to every story and in the case of Kanye West’s ongoing divorce from Kim Kardashian, it looks like he’s sharing his side with friends and collaborators. Although the initial reports had Kim filing for divorce, citing many “little things” that made their differences more apparent, at least one of Kanye’s rapper homies believes it went the other way around.

On “Thought I Was Playing” from Gunna’s new mixtape DS4EVER, fellow Atlanta rapper 21 Savage uses the celebrity split as the subject for a twisted punchline: “SF90 cost a M, dumped his Glock like Ye did Kim.” Fans on Twitter who caught the line sparked a lighthearted but spirited debate about just who dumped whom.

Of course, both stars have since seemingly moved on. Kim has apparently been dating comedian Pete Davidson after remarking that she had no intention of reconciling with Kanye, and while Kanye has made repeated public overtures, even going so far as declaring that God would reunite the couple, he has since also been seen out with a new romantic interest. Actress Julia Fox, with whom Kanye had dinner in New York City, described their date in glowing terms, prompting some fans to give their skeptical impressions of the pairing, drawing comparisons with Fox’s character’s relationship in Uncut Gems.

The rollout for Gunna’s new mixtape, Drip Season 4, appears to be going smoothly. Just days after he announced the tape’s imminent release date — this Friday, January 7 — he revealed the elaborate cover art. Now, he’s also revealed the tracklist, which not only includes the previously released single “Too Easy” featuring Future and the remix with Roddy Ricch but also contains the collaborative track with Chloe Bailey he teased while refuting the dating rumors that circulated after he and the pop star were spotted at a basketball game together.

In addition to the above-mentioned tracks, there will also be guest appearances from a number of longtime collaborators and friends such as 21 Savage, Drake, G Herbo, Lil Baby, and Young Thug, as well as new collaborators Kodak Black and Yung Bleu. Clocking in at 20 tracks, the tape follows the contemporary trend of longer releases to generate more impressive streaming numbers.

Drip Season 4 will be Gunna’s first solo release since 2020’s Wunna, although he was extensively featured on the YSL Records compilation Slime Language 2 alongside the rest of Young Thug’s label signees. Ahead of the project’s release, the Atlanta native called it the final Drip Season tape.

Drip Season 4 is due 1/7 via 300 and Atlantic. You can pre-save it here.

Gunna Reveals The Cover To ‘Drip Season 4,’ His Final Installment Of The Mixtape Series

After taking 2021 off (mostly; he was heavily involved in the recording of YSL Records’ Slime Language 2), Gunna splashily announced his return earlier this week with the fourth and final installment of his Drip Season mixtape series. Drip Season 4, which is due this Friday, January 7, is the first Drip Season tape in nearly four years, with Drip Season 3 dropping in February of 2018. Today, Gunna shared the cover, which transforms his face, as with previous versions of the cover. However, this time, in keeping with his increased status in the rap game, his transformation leans more toward epic than monstrous.

Whereas previous versions added fangs or bite masks to Gunna’s face, this latest one renders him as a bust that is cracking and crumbling, like a neglected work of art. It suggests both the end of an era and a mighty legacy worth rendering in stone — even if only temporarily. In a press release, the cover designer, contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, echoed this sentiment. “I’ve been a fan of Gunna’s music for quite some time and was pleased when he reached out to me a number of months ago through DM with questions about my work,” he said. “He was very curious about how some of the pieces that I create are made. He was intrigued about the crystal materials I use and the idea of time travel and the future, present within the works. We connected in person a few times and at some point, he asked if I wanted to work on the DS4 album cover with him.”

Prior to the announcement, Gunna released the Future-featuring single “Too Easy” and its remix, which features Roddy Ricch. They, along with “9 Times Outta 10,” constituted the Atlanta rapper’s first solo work since 2020’s Wunna. In the time since, Gunna’s profile has risen to the point of receiving a day honoring his achievements in Fulton County, Georgia, where he grew up.

Gunna has spent the last few months promoting his next album, which he previously revealed is titled Drip Season 4. The musician started promoting it back in August with the single “9 Times Outta 10,” featuring producer Taurus. A month later, he returned “Too Easy,” featuring Future and which was later remixed by Roddy Ricch. Both songs left fan to wonder when the full album would arrive. Finally, on New Year’s Day, he gave an answer.

Gunna shared a post of what appears to be a clip from a music video for an upcoming song, which is reportedly titled “Pushin P” and which features contributions from Young Thug and Future. In the caption, Gunna wrote, “DS4 1-7-22 #HNY,” confirming that the album will arrive in less than a week on January 7.

Drip Season 4 will be Gunna’s first album since 2020’s Wunna, which became a fan favorite by the end of the year. It’s also the first installment in the series, which Gunna began back in 2015, since 2018’s Drip Season 3.

Gunna And Future’s ‘Too Easy’ Is A Hard-Hitting Flex About Their Riches

by

Gunna is getting closer and closer to releasing his latest album, Drip Season 4. He began the rollout for the project last month by sharing “9 Times Outta 10” with producer Taurus. The Atlanta rapper continues the promotional run for his next project by releasing “Too Easy” with Future. The track is a hard-hitting flex from the rappers about the riches and success they’ve attained in their respective careers. “Too Easy” arrives as a sign of what’s to come on Drip Season 4 and it remains to be seen when that project will arrive.

The song marks the rappers’ first collaboration since they teamed up for “Street Sweeper” last year. It also arrives after Gunna was honored in his hometown of Atlanta for his charitable efforts in the city. South Fulton Mayor William “Bill” Edwards announced September 16 as Gunna Day in Atlanta and had nothing but nice words for the rapper during a ceremony for the honor.

“Gunna is committed to giving back to the community that raised him, buffered him, sheltered him, and supported him by creating Gunna’s Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store, which is set to provide students of McNair Middle School with access to free meals, clothing, and toiletries for years to come,” Edwards said in a speech.

You can press play on the new track in the video.
