The Kid LAROI Adds Gunna To Remix Of “BABY I’M BACK”

by

The Kid LAROI had fans waiting for his debut album, THE FIRST TIME, for quite a while. He acknowledged this fact with his fans on Instagram ahead of its release, thanking them for their unwavering support. “Thank you for sticking around this long and im sorry that sometimes it’s hard being a supporter of mine. I’ve had a lot of different experiences these past couple of years and life has been nothing short of insane… Extremely grateful that I get to share this stuff with you all. I wouldn’t be anything without y’all so thank you again. I love you all beyond words”. After getting this project, it’s safe to say that the Australian multi-talent is making up for lost time. He just dropped off the deluxe last month, and now, The Kid LAROI is back with another release with Gunna.

They are combining their crossover abilities to deliver a remix of “BABY I’M BACK”, an alternate version of one of the deluxe cuts. Not much changes structurally or instrumentally, outside of Gunna’s verse now being the second, with LAROI’s now being the third. If you haven’t heard the first “BABY I’M BACK”, the track samples Player’s classic soft rock track, “Baby Come Back”. Check out the rendition below.

“BABY I’M BACK (Remix)” – The Kid LAROI & Gunna

Quotable Lyrics:

You can gon’ and get used to my voice ’cause, baby, I’m back
Young Gunna Wunna, the people’s choice just accept the facts
We bump and grind ’cause shawty mine and she feel attached
I like it, I hope we don’t have a fatal attraction
Keep the camera holdin’ still, I’m backin’ in that action
Every day I wake up just to kill it, that ain’t no cappin’

Gunna Seemingly Shut Down Having Beef With Future After His Verse Was Removed From A ‘Mixtape Pluto’ Track

Yet again, hip-hop heads are asking themselves if Gunna and Future have beef. Back in May, the “Pushin P” collaborators appeared to subtly shade each other. Now, supporters have called out Future from removing a Gunna verse off his latest project, Mixtape Pluto.

With Future’s new body of work officially on streaming platforms, listeners were shocked to see that Gunna no longer appeared on its song, “Told My,” despite his verse previously being teased.

Over in his Instagram stories Gunna (viewable here courtesy of HipHopDX), seemingly addressed the removal, writing: “It’s not personal. It’s just business.”

Gunna’s suspected response is a page out of his YSL Records head honcho Young Thug’s playbook (see his recent album).

Users online aren’t convinced that there still isn’t tension bubbling underneath the surface. But it is important to note that Gunna wasn’t the only artists fans seemingly axed from Mixtape Pluto.

Based on clips shared ahead of its release, Travis Scott recorded a special verse for the Mixtape Pluto record “South of France.”

However, considering the project marked Future’s first solo release since 2020’s High Off Life, others argued that he wanted to make a creative statement on his own. Based on reports, he did just that supposedly setting an Apple Music record in the process.

Gunna Reacts To His Feature On Future’s Project Being Axed

by

Heading into this weekend, Future had most of the hip-hop community’s ears due to his MIXTAPE PLUTO project arriving. It’s here as of yesterday, September 20, and it’s his third release of 2024. With a title such as this one, fans were looking forward to hearing that sort of Future again. So far, a lot of listeners are pretty pleased with the results. However, there are some out there who a little let down. Leading up to it, there was some real hope that Future would include the contributions of Gunna and Travis Scott.

“SOUTH OF FRANCE” (Travis) and “TOLD MY” (Gunna) were the respective cuts to have said guest appearances. But for whatever reason, the 17-song LP is feature-less. Some were respecting the decision, feeling that he was tailoring this project to his OG fans or just didn’t feel they were necessary enough. But as we said, there is quite a bit of frustration on the internet. “Future album got no features and he think we listening i’m f***ing crying”, one X user says.

So far, Travis Scott has not reacted to this development. Given that they were just working on a handful of songs off of WE DON’T TRUST YOU, things are most likely solid there. However, Gunna is seemingly addressing it after 24 hours, but he doesn’t seem as affected by it as people may try and make it out to be. “It’s not personal it’s just business”, he wrote on an IG story according to a repost from DJ Akademiks. For a little while, there relationship has been a little rocky perhaps due to the Young Thug and YSL trial debacle. But if Gunna is being candid and is actually referring to the Future feature, things look to be on the up and up.

What are your thoughts on Gunna seemingly reacting to his feature on Future’s MIXTAPE PLUTO being removed? Do you think he’s upset or is he being understanding? Are you disappointed in the project, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Future and Gunna. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Future Removed All Features From “Mixtape Pluto” And Fans Are Confused

by

Future delivered. Just not in the exact manner we expected. The rapper dropped off his new album, Mixtape Pluto, and its filled with stellar production and earworm hooks. One thing the album doesn’t have, though, is features. Future teased high profile collaborations with Travis Scott and Gunna on the new album. Travis Scott was touted to be on “SOUTH OF FRANCE,” and even appeared in the video for the teaser snippet. Likewise, Gunna had a verse on the leaked version of “TOLD MY.” Neither of them made the final cut, though, and fans are puzzled.

There has been some tension between Future and Gunna in the past. The former tweeted support for Gunna’s single “Prada Dem” in March, but deleted it minutes later. Fans everywhere speculated that the tension between the two men stemmed from Gunna’s actions in the ongoing YSL case. Given that “TOLD MY” dates back before the YSL drama, it’s very possible Future made the decision in light of the current circumstances. The omission of Travis Scott is a little more puzzling. Scott was seen recording a verse in the promo video for “SOUTH OF FRANCE.” There doesn’t appear to be any bad blood between him and Future, though.

Future Removed Gunna And Travis Scott From The Album

Given how anticipated both of these collabs were, fans were understandably disappointed. Some voiced concern over what these omissions mean with regards to Future’s relationships. Others simply lamented the fact that they didn’t get new Scott and Gunna verses. “Did we all get bamboozled by thinking Travis would be on South of France or was that just me,” asked one user. Another fan posited that Future could be saving the features for a deluxe version of Mixtape Pluto. If so, though, it would be the rare instance of a deluxe adding features to pre-existing songs instead of new ones.

Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to the pump fake drop. Do you think Future will drop the features on a deluxe version? Why do you think they were removed in the first place? Is the album still good without features? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Toosii & Gunna Are A Perfect Match On Melodic “Champs Elysees”

by

New York/North Carolina raised rapper and singer Toosii is back with “Champs Elysees”, a new single featuring Gunna. This is the first time that these two artists have crossed paths, which is kind of a shocker. Both possess the ability to rap melodically at a high level in addition to sharing similar tastes when it comes to production. Like his new album, a Toosii and Gunna collab is long overdue. It seems as that “Champs Elysees” will be landing on an upcoming album for the “Favorite Song” MC in just about a month.

According to Genius, Toosii will be launching JADED on October 4, with “Fuk You Mean” being the lead-off track. Overall, Toosii and Gunna really do their thing over this soulful and luxurious trap beat. The main attraction has a catchy stop-and-go flow right from the opening lines of the sticky chorus that open up the record. Gunna similarly tackles the instrumental well with his signature auto-tune-tinged vocals. Besides being a head-nodding tune, Toosii and Gunna are also delivering some uplifting bars about chasing what they want in life. For example, Gunna raps, “The mansion in the hills, I need a few more / Five hundred Ms, I’m tryna reach the goal“. If you want to hear “Champs Elysees” for yourself, click the music video link down below.

Gunna Comes Through With Massive Financial Relief For Atlanta Families

by

According to multiple reports, Gunna and the Black Music Action Coalition are going to be helping families in a big way. They are going to do so financially with a new monthly income program that will give 30 households $1,000 a month for an entire year. It’s being referred to as the Gunna x BMAC 30349 Guaranteed Income Program and it’s going to benefit residents of South Fulton, Georgia. It’s city that sits just below the major hub that is Atlanta. If you do the math, that’s $360,000 overall, which is just a super thoughtful and charitable donation from the One of Wun rapper.

Of course, the families looking to receive this helpful financial aid do need to qualify and the monthly stipends will roll out on October 1 and end that same day in 2025. What’s also cool about this is that the lucky winners will also get mentorship in music, film, fashion, and tech, all of which are some of the biggest industries in the world. Gunna says that goal for this movement is to “uplift my hometown, providing resources that could make a tangible difference”. If you are wanting to apply, you can click this link.

A post shared by No Jumper 🏀 (@nojumper)

This is not the first time that Gunna has done something like this for his hometown. Back in 2017, he teamed up with a separate organization that goes by Goodr. They worked together to create a free in-school clothing and grocery store at his former middle school in College Park. If you don’t like Gunna as artist, you certainly cannot argue that he’s not a good ambassador for Georgia as a whole.

What are your thoughts on Gunna giving 30 families in Atlanta $1,000 per month for a year? Is this the most generous act you have seen from an artist this year?

Gunna Teams Up with BMAC for $500,000 Guaranteed Income Program in South Fulton

by
Gunna Teams Up with BMAC for $500,000 Guaranteed Income Program in South Fulton

Atlanta rap icon and four-time GRAMMY® nominee Gunna has partnered with the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) to launch the Gunna x BMAC 30349 Guaranteed Income Program. This $500,000 initiative aims to provide a $1,000 monthly stipend to 30 families residing in the 30349 zip code of South Fulton, GA. Applications for the program are now open.

The Guaranteed Income and Support Program builds on Gunna’s previous community efforts, including the Drip Closet, a free in-school clothing store, and the Goodr Grocery Store at McNair Middle School. The new program will offer families guaranteed monthly income and additional support services, including financial empowerment and mental health resources.

The program, set to officially launch on September 18, will involve collaboration with South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamua and local organizations to select recipients. BMAC will also leverage its network in the music, film, fashion, and tech industries to mentor the grant recipients.

“As Mayor of South Fulton, I am deeply committed to fostering economic opportunities and uplifting our community. The partnership between Gunna, BMAC, and the City of South Fulton represents a transformative step in addressing the economic disparities that some of our residents’ face. The Gunna x BMAC 30349 Guaranteed Income Program is not just an investment in our city’s future, but a powerful example of how we can create meaningful change through collaboration and innovation. I am proud to support this initiative and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the families in our community.”

– Khalid Kamau, Mayor of South Fulton

“When I launched Gunna’s Great Giveaway, my goal was to uplift my hometown by providing resources that could make a tangible difference in at least one household. Partnering with BMAC to introduce the Guaranteed Income program in South Fulton is a significant step toward enhancing these communities and transforming the economic landscape of the city. “

– GUNNA, GRAMMY® Award Nominated & Multi-Platinum Recording Artist

“BMAC’s mission to achieve systemic equity must begin with economic justice. Black Americans are too often locked out of critical opportunities and pathways to climb the socioeconomic ladder despite being central to every cultural and financial movement in this country’s history. Partnering with Gunna to bring needed financial relief and, more importantly, mentorship and other services leading to sustainable change is very powerful. Our organization will continue to partner with Artists and others looking to put equity in action so our community can tap into its fullest potential.”

-Willie “Prophet” Stiggers, Co-Founder/President & CEO of Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC)

Gunna and BMAC co-founder Willie “Prophet” Stiggers will spotlight the initiative at the annual BMAC Gala on September 19 and celebrate Gunna Day on September 29.

Gunna And The Black Music Action Coalition Launch A $500,000 Guaranteed Income Program

Gunna has partnered with the Black Music Action Coalition to launch the Gunna x BMAC 30349 Guaranteed Income Program. The program will give a monthly stipend of $1,000 to over two dozen families in Fulton County, Georgia (the Atlanta suburb Gunna hails from) for one year, totaling $500,000 worth of donations.

It’s just the latest example of Gunna’s commitment to giving back to his hometown; Gunna was even honored with a Gunna Day in Fulton for his philanthropic efforts, which included projects like Gunna’s Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store, which donated clothes and groceries to area families. Gunna and YSL labelmate/mentor Young Thug also paid 30 Fulton County inmates’ bonds in 2021 (which turned out to be ironic, when they were both denied bond multiple times as they awaited trial on racketeering charges). Upon his release from jail after pleading guilty to one charge of racketeering (a so-called “Alford Plea,” which meant he would not have to testify against his co-defendants), Gunna gave away $100,000 in grocery gift cards.

Of the Guaranteed Income Program, Gunna said in a statement, “When I launched Gunna’s Great Giveaway, my goal was to uplift my hometown by providing resources that could make a tangible difference in at least one household. Partnering with BMAC to introduce the Guaranteed Income program in South Fulton is a significant step toward enhancing these communities and transforming the economic landscape of the city.”
