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“.

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.

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? 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 Gunna.

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

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.”

Follow Along With Gunna’s Busy Schedule (Through His Eyes) In His ‘Today I Did Good’ Video

by

Gunna continues to promote his new album, One Of Wun, showing that there’s always work to be done to keep the momentum of a project moving. Two weeks ago, he released the video for the title track, and today, he follows up with the video for “Today I Did Good,” showing off all the hard work it takes to stay on top of his game.

The video follows a day in Gunna’s life, seen from his perspective (complete with a blinking eye effect!) as he breakfasts at a hotel in Rome, takes in a fashion show, boards a plane to Johannesburg in South Africa to shoot a video with Tyla, heads to London, then pulls up to Ohio State University to perform the first show of his Bittersweet Tour, and finally heads to Los Angeles for a photoshoot. And yes, all this is done in the space of a day, once you account for time zones. When exactly he sleeps remains a mystery, and honestly, I hope he’s scheduling enough downtime to ensure that getting enough rest.

Watch Gunna’s “Today I Did Good” video above.

Gunna’s “Today I Did Good” Music Video Is A Reminder To Just Live Your Life

by

One thing fans have learned about Gunna is that he loves to make a music video. Every album cycle of his comes with several visuals. a Gift & a Curse came with six videos for the album’s fifteen tracks. His latest album, One of Wun, is no different. After releasing videos for “whatsapp (wassam),” “back in the a” and “Prada Dem” with Offset, Gunna is back with the fourth video of this album cycle. “today i did good,” a more understated cut than the high-energy tracks Gunna is most known for, is the latest from the album to receive a video.

“today i did good” is Gunna celebrating himself. He applauds himself for getting on a diet (“I ain’t been eating no bullsh*t”). His fitness journey is one he’s documented himself for the last few years. He thanks God that he’s still rich, and talks about his bachelor life. The beat is mellower than one may expect from a Gunna track, and overall, it’s pleasant to listen to. The video, directed by Spike Jordan, is as impressive.

Gunna – “today i did good”: Watch:

The video itself is Gunna going through several days in his life. The video is also shot on a GoPro-like camera. It gives viewers his point of view in a way that would be similar to how Gunna himself goes through the day. He also time stamps every major point in the day. The video begins with him working out in Rome at 4:45 AM. From there, he eats breakfast, gets dressed, and leaves his hotel at 9:38 AM. He goes clothes shopping and then goes to a fashion show. Gunna leaves Rome at almost 7PM, and heads to South Africa to shoot the video for Tyla’s “Jump,” a track he features on. The scenes in South Africa follow a similar format. After his day in South Africa, he briefly heads to Los Angeles. He then goes to Ohio State University’s Schottenstein Center, the location of the first show of his Bittersweet Tour.

The video’s ending scene is from a photoshoot for P, Gunna’s clothing brand. Following the shoot, they return a room to in a scene that suggests a deluxe version of One of Wun is on the way. There are two pieces of art. One is the album’s standard art. Instead of the standard’s blue and white flowers, the other piece of art shows his head covered with orange and yellow flowers. The video’s last message is essentially telling viewers to make the most of their day. Gunna also wants his fans to not listen to what other people think of them. It’s a nice message to end a very well-crafted music video for one of the more underrated tracks on One of Wun. Watch the video above.

Jon B Absolutely Hates The Gunna And Chloe Song That Samples Him

by

Jon B is not an S-tier R&B singer, but he’s got classic songs. So many classics, in fact, that he’s become a popular source for samples. A little Jon B goes a long way in giving a song a retro, 90s feel. Gunna and Chloe Bailey were going for this precise feel on their 2022 collab, “You & Me.” Unfortunately, they didn’t clear the sample of Jon B’s “They Don’t Know” that plays throughout the song. Jon B was not pleased when he found out, and he let it be known how much he hated the new song during a recent interview with Can We Talk RNB.

The R&B singer went on the podcast shortly after the Gunna and Chloe Bailey single dropped. He did not mince words when asked what he thought of the sample. Jon B said he “couldn’t stand” what the artists had done to his original composition. He dubbed their version of “They Don’t Know” as “ratchet,” and he lamented that “You & Me” ever saw the light of day. “My lane is my lane… I earned that,” Jon B explained. “Just like, if you made a hit, in your area… I’m not just gonna come into your area and take your joint and make it mine. And then not pay you.” Damn, tell us how you really feel, Jon.

Jon B Urged Gunna To Reach Out To Him

The criticisms didn’t stop there. The singer accused Gunna of failing to clear the sample, which could result in legal action. “They never got my rights to do the record,” he asserted.” Jon B is obviously not a fan of the Gunna and Chloe Bailey collab. That said, he understands that music is subjective. He told Can We Talk RNB he was more bothered by the lack professionalism with regards to clearances. “Gunna we got to holler about that,” he stated. “That’s some business sh*t we got to handle.”

Jon also had some strong words for his blue-eyed successor, Justin Timberlake. During the podcast appearance, the singer laid into Timberlake’s latest single, “No Angels.” He was somehow even more brutal with JT than Gunna or Chloe Bailey. “That new single is trash,” he plainly stated. “I’m not feeling his music at all anymore. And the video is even more trash.” One of the few people Jon B has has nice words for, ironically, is everybody’s enemy in 2024: Drake. The 6 God sampled Jon B on his 2011 opus Take Care, and the latter gave love in return. “One of the most humble ppl I’ve met in the industry,” he wrote on Facebook in 2012. “It’s nice to know the respect is mutual. Big up Drake.”
