UK streetwear brand BoohooMAN is launching a new collection with rapper Gunna. Hitting shelves this summer, the collection, called P By Gunna, will offer wide variety of clothing, featuring 92 pieces, in sizes ranging from a variety of sizes XS-3XL.
Gunna — who is known for his next-level outfits — designed every piece in the capsule himself. P By Gunna offers a variety of cropped graphic tees, boxy fit jackets, jerseys, knitwear, tracksuits, and oversized denim, all inspired by proportion play silhouettes with a mix of washed vintage athleisure fits, and 70’s shaped silhouettes.
“Creating ‘P STAR’ was about crafting something that felt authentic, original, and one of wun,” said Gunna in a statement. “As an artist, designer, and overall creative any opportunity for me to showcase my talent on a platform I’m passionate about, is why I’m grateful.”
As Gunna is having a big comeback this year, following his release from prison and his hot new album, One Of Wun, fans are definitely going to want to get their hands on Gunna’s new fashions this summer.

Gunna released One Of Wun, his most recent endeavor, a few weeks ago. Fans are adoring the album, which has already produced a few viral hits. Sales obviously show that Gunna’s music is now having an impact on listeners. In its first week of sales, one of Wun officially sold 91K units. Gunna is definitely doing his thing, especially when it comes to his physical fitness. The rapper has made waves on social media for his body transformation. Now, he has recently been seen working out with NBA player Bol Bol at the Phoenix Sun’s facility.
Following his release from jail in 2022, Gunna said how he shed up to “30-40 pounds” and how he’s still maintaining his weight. He discussed his body in an open interview that was released by XXL. “Less eating. Especially when I went to jail. I lost a lot of weight. Just like, cleansing. Detoxing. And when I got home, I started working out and just keeping it fit. And now, I’m on a year straight of all working out,” he said. Now he is fit enough to keep up with professional athletes, apparently. His workout with Bol Bol looked intense.
Gunna became serious about his physical fitness. He said in the interview with XXL, “Yes. I got a trainer and work out six days a week. I eat better and I eat clean. And that’s something I’m disciplining myself to do every day. It’s something that I’m liking, though. I feel better when I work out.” He is going all out, and it’s probably helping him musically as well, allowing for better physical performance on stage. In the workout with Bol Bol, we see Gunna go through some explosive workouts as he is training like a real athlete.
Gunna is riding the wave of his new successful album. He is also featured on Tyla’s Jump song and recently shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the video shoot. Will we see Gunna on an NBA court anytime soon? Of course not. Nevertheless, it’s cool seeing him work out with professional hoopers like Bol Bol. Overall, Gunna is serious about working out, and we love to see it.
Four-time Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum Atlanta rap superstar Gunna returns to the top of multiple charts with his acclaimed fifth studio album One of Wun! It notably bows at #2 on the Billboard 200, becoming his fifth consecutive Top 5 debut on the respective chart. Additionally, it captures #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Not to mention, it stands out as the #1 debut of the week and #1 biggest week for a Warner Music Group album in 2024 so far.
On DSPs, it notches a #1 Spotify Global and U.S. debut in addition to vaulting to #1 on Apple Music in 44 countries. Thus far, it has generated 170 million global streams.
Right now, Gunna is canvasing the country with sold out shows on ‘The Bittersweet Tour.’ It kicked off on May 4 in Columbus, OH at Schottenstein Center, with 16 stops across the U.S. in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Houston, Miami and more before wrapping up with a hometown performance in Atlanta at State Farm Arena on June 11.
The artwork for One of Wun was created by Calvin Clausell Jr., featuring creative direction by Spike Jordan of The Genius Club, as well as art direction and design by Tal Midyan.
Both Gunna and Tyla have had big years in 2024. Each artist has come through with a new album in the first five months. The former delivered One of Wun earlier this month, with a heavy focus on his new mindset and personal growth. As for the latter, the Afro-pop act gave her growing Tygers (her fans) fan base a full dosage of what she can do on an LP with her self-titled debut. One song from the album that listeners have taken a liking to is the Gunna and Skillibeng collaboration, “Jump.”
The song has climbed up the ranks quickly, as it is currently Tyla’s second-most streamed record at 67.3 million plays. It is outpacing others such as “Truth or Dare,” “ART,” and “No.1” with Tems. Just yesterday, the track got some extra pampering with its music video. It was shot in Tyla’s hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa and while they were down there, they were seen out together in a video reshared by The Neighborhood Talk, which angered some fans.

The reason for them being so upset was because she was partying after canceling her tour due to health issues. Some of her Tygers were claiming that they still had not received refunds as well. Now, more footage of the rapper and singer is out, in what appears to be BTS for the “Jump” video. Fans are not angry this time around, but they are roasting the heck out of Gunna. In the clip, his walking motion seems a bit stiff and awkward, and trolls on X were quick to point that out. One person says, “N**** walking like he slipped a disk in his back.” Another joins the comedy show, adding, “He walks like he’s going uphill at all time[s] ”
What are your thoughts on Gunna sharing some BTS of the “Jump” music video while walking with Tyla? Can you see these two artists dating in the near future, why or why not? Is this one your favorite songs from the Afro-pop singer’s debut self-titled album? Would you want to see them work together again? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Gunna and Tyla. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Last year, Tyla seemingly became an R&B superstar overnight. It arrived on the back of her song “Water” which dropped last year and slowly crept up the Hot 100. Eventually the song became a total smash hit peaking at number 3 on the chart. The song has racked up more than 600 million streams on Spotify alone and even got a remix with Travis Scott late last year. She followed that up with her self-titled debut album earlier this year, for which she recruited a couple of high profile features.
Two of those features also showed up in her newest video for the song “Jump.” Gunna and Skillibeng both feature on the track, which has rocketed up to her second most-streamed song on Spotify. They’re also present in the video which is shot in a variety of locations within Tyla’s native Johannesburg. It also features shots of Skillibeng from his own hometown of Kingston, Jamaica. The video was directed by NABIL and has already racked up more than 600k views in just its first few hours while hitting YouTube’s trending page. Check out the new visuals she shared for “Jump” below.
Earlier this year, Tyla canceled a world tour she had previously announced for 2024. In a statement released alongside the announcement of the cancelation. she cited health issues that prevented her from following through on the tour. Since then, however, that explanation has stuck with fans and they bring it up regularly. The R&B star has been spotted partying all over the world in recent months and doesn’t look particularly encumbered in her new music video. That’s led to some fans speculating that there could be alternate reasons for the tour’s canceling.
What do you think of the new music video Tyla, Gunna, and Skillibeng released for their new collaboration “Jump?” What’s your favorite song from the breakthrough R&B star’s new debut album? Let us know in the comment section below.
Tylawon her first Grammy before releasing an album, but once her self-titled debut studio album arrived in March, Tyla proved more than worthy of any award. Uproxx’s Wongo Okon reviewed the album and called it “a declaration of the singer’s pop stardom.” The newly released video for “Jump,” a standout Tyla track with Gunna and Skillibeng, reinforces that observation.
Directed by Nabil, the video finds Tyla putting her love for Johannesburg, South Africa on display while recognizing that she has grown into a worldwide figure. “They never had a pretty girl from Joburg,” Tyla sings while Gunna drives her down the street, followed by Tyla dancing on a pool table. “See me now, and that’s what they prefer / I don’t touch no wheel ’cause I got a chauffeur / First class how I get ’round the world.”
Tyla is the center of attention throughout the video, and she can’t be bothered by two men who come crashing through her window to brawl. Eventually, Gunna serenades Tyla in the club, and Skillibeng cooly delivers his verse while Tyla literally halts traffic in order to start a twerk party in the street.
The “Jump” video follows Tyla’s videos for “Truth Or Dare” and “Water (Remix)” with Travis Scott. Tyla debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Tyla’s meteoric rise continues with the release of the music video for “Jump,” a fan-favorite collaboration featuring Gunna and Skillibeng from her debut album. Directed by NABIL, the visually striking video showcases the trio traversing the vibrant streets of Johannesburg, South Africa, Tyla’s proud hometown. Skillibeng, hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, contributes a never-before-heard verse, adding to the song’s dynamic appeal.
The release of the “Jump” video comes as the track experiences a significant spike in chart performance. Produced by Sammy Soso, the record has amassed 75 million streams worldwide. It currently holds the #1 spot on the UK Afro Beat chart and has peaked at #3 on the US Billboard Afrobeat Chart. Tyla’s hit “Water” continues to dominate the #1 position, while “Truth Or Dare” and “Art” secure the #5 and #6 spots, respectively. Her collaboration with Tems, “No. 1,” rounds out the Top 10 at #8.
T.I. is no stranger to rap battles. When he was beefing with Shawty Lo, the Atlanta rapper went to Lo’s neighborhood and shot the music video for the diss record “What Up, What’s Haapnin’.” He knows how to be disrespectful. That being said, TI is not thrilled with the direction that the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle went. He recently went on Big Boy TV to discuss the fallout of the battle, and asserted that it has been harmful to some of the other rappers who have tried to drop in 2024.
TI made it clear upfront that he didn’t care about rappers lying. He considered it to be part of the game. He told the radio host that his focus goes towards the wordplay and the writing. “All this sh*t they saying can’t be true,” he asserted. “I mostly listen for the double entendres, the metaphors and the skill in which they present their art. They hard. I think it’s good for the game.” The Atlanta icon was less positive with regards to what the battle has done to other rappers. He pointed out that Drake and Dot sucked up all the oxygen in the room with regards to hip-hop, and everything else has been effectively drowned out.
T.I. reacts to the Drake & Kendrick Lamar battle, alludes to not believing the allegations
“all this sh*t they saying cant be true… I mostly listen for the double entendres, the metaphors and the skill… they done f*cked it up for some other people who were planning to drop… pic.twitter.com/ssUdbCf84p
“I will say this,” TI added. “They done kinda f*cked it up for some other who were planning to drop in this period.” The rapper has a fair point. Gunna recently dropped a new album, One of Wun, and most of the attention was on the bars that could be perceived as digs at the 6 God. TI, himself, has been working on completing his final album, Kill the King. There isn’t a release date yet, but the Atlanta rapper definitely had no plans of dropping a double album in the midst of the biggest rap battle of the 21st century.
TI also talked to Big Boy about J. Cole’s decision to avoid the battle. While many industry veterans have criticized the rapper for buckling, TIP was complimentary. “I feel [like] he chose peace and tranquility,” he noted. “You got to have thick skin… We don’t know where that would take him. That was quite mature of him.” Fans are still waiting on that TI album, but he did recently drop a killer freestyle over West Coast instrumentals.
Earlier this month, Gunna released his new album One Of Wun. After months of teasing the project and promising big things, the 20-track record arrived around a year after his previous project dropped in 2023. The album features appearances from Offset, Normani, Leon Bridges, and most notably, Roddy Ricch. Roddy’s appearance on the record is exactly why it’s no surprise that he’s cosigning the album and Gunna himself on social media. That comes despite the fact that the new album has left fans, critics, and even fellow rappers divided.
Roddy reposted a video of Gunna to his Instagram story with the caption “the kid that did!” He also pulled up in the comment with a “P” emoji, which has been one of Gunna’s signatures since the hit song “Pushin P” dropped in early 2022. Gunna and Roddy have collaborated numerous times over the years appearing on a number of each other’s album and remixes. Perhaps most notably one of Gunna’s fan-favorite cuts from his 2020 album Wunna, “COOLER THAN A B*TCH” featured an appearance from Roddy. Check out his newest cosign of one of his frequent collaborators below.
A few weeks ago, Gunna promised TMZ that his new album would hit number one on the Billboard 200, but the early projections don’t seem likely. The first projections for the record expect it to sell between 60-65k copies in its first week. That’s enough for a top 10 debut and maybe even a top 5, but will likely end up well short of the top spot. It’s also a step back from Gunna’s new album last year which pushed 85k copies in its first week on the way to a number 3 debut.
What do you think of Roddy Ricch shouting out Gunna’s new album, which he lends a featured verse to? Do you think the numbers Gunna’s new album is expected to sell in its first week are underwhelming given what he promised? Let us know in the comment section below.
The release of Gunna’s new albumOne Of Wun on May 10 was a moment met with restless anticipation. For fans of the Atlanta rapper, the album’s arrival was not preceded by the usual fanfare or explosive marketing campaigns other artists of his caliber tend to do. Instead, it came on the heels of personal and legal challenges that saw Gunna retreat from the public eye. That’s why Gunna’s choice to let the music speak for itself feels like a statement of sorts.
One Of Wun was also a hint at the deep exploration he seems to be going through in his journey so far as an artist. It’s also not a reach to claim that One Of Wun’s eclectic beats serve to amplify this narrative. His previous works painted pictures of luxury and excess, set against the backdrop of his signature flow and infectious beats. But One Of Wun showed another layer to the man; a man with deeper, complex feelings and sensitivities.
A central motif in Gunna’s latest album is his indulgences and the opulence and extravagance that his success has afforded him. This theme is woven throughout the album. However, several tracks stand out for their explicit portrayal of this luxurious life. On “Back in the A,” Gunna reflects on his rise from humble beginnings to a life of wealth, contrasting his past with his present. On “Prada Dem,” featuring Offset, a braggadocious anthem ensues, celebrating designer fashion, and the high-end lifestyle that has become synonymous with Gunna’s image. “Whatsapp (Wassam)” is another example where Gunna narrates an interesting experience of receiving a significant sum of money for a private show. Finally, “Neck On A Yacht,” produced by Turbo, is inspired by recording sessions on a yacht. Altogether, these tracks further emphasize the carefree and affluent lifestyle that Gunna now enjoys.
On Relationships And Women
Gunna explores his experiences with women throughout One Of Wun. However, there’s a sense of detachment in his approach. While the songs discuss women and sex quite a bit, it’s clear that there’s not much emotional depth involved. Take “Treesh” for example, where Gunna dives into the complexities of short-lived relationships, balancing between reluctance and enjoyment in casual encounters. Likewise, “Life’s Changing” sheds light on how his life has transformed. This includes his romantic involvements, especially as he deals with the challenges of fame and wealth.
Finally, Gunna’s One of Wun digs deep into his efforts to push forward despite the challenges life throws at him. Interestingly, the album seems to be inspired by his legal battles and the controversies surrounding his plea deal. Overall, it stands as a testament to his strength. Gunna brushes off the need for apologies from those who doubted him, focusing instead on his personal victories. Moreover, the title track resonates with this idea. His p lyrics underscore his unwavering determination to succeed in the face of adversity. This resilience shines through in “On One Tonight” as well. Gunna confronts the expectations of his critics for his downfall, reaffirming his steadfast commitment to thrive.
Production And Sound
Gunna continues to push the boundaries of trap music with One of Wun. With standout tracks like “Prada Dem,” featuring Offset, and “Whatsapp (Wassam),” this album is an experiment done right. The songs brilliantly exemplify his evolution as an artist. He combines his trademark melodic rap with newer sonic elements, such as afrobeats, to create a fresh sound.
Before the album’s release, Gunna had already established himself as a distinct voice in the trap genre. His unique melodies and sounds feature bouncy acoustic guitar loops, airy pads, and catchy synth melodies. This helps to create a rhythm that is both lush and laid-back. This sparse production style gives his voice full reign over the tracks, allowing his smooth delivery and clever wordplay to shine. Gunna’s hit “Fukumean” is a prime example of this signature style. This track was definitely one of the first to showcase his ability to create hits that resonate with fans everywhere. In similar fashion, One Of Wun’s sound is characterized by its mid-tempo beats and synth-driven melodies, and a seamless blend of traditional trap elements with innovative musical ideas.
Criticism
One of Wun is definitely evidence of Gunna’s melodic prowess and his established place in the trap genre. However, while the album showcases his signature sound and lyrical themes, it also reveals areas where the artist could have stretched his creative boundaries further. The album’s production is polished, with Gunna’s flow as precise as ever, but it often treads familiar ground. For example, tracks like “Collage” and “Hakuna Matata” are prime examples of Gunna’s ability to craft immersive melodies, but they don’t stray very far from the same sonic palette he has offered in the past.
Moving on, the project’s midtempo, synth-driven production, is not at all shoddy and is very cohesive. However, for a 20-track album, this sometimes borders on monotonous. Unfortunately, there are moments that lead to a sense of redundancy, especially as the album progresses. The album also seems to need a more specific lyrical depth that could have provided a more explicit understanding of Gunna as an artist. Many tracks don’t venture into new lyrical territory that might have offered a fresh perspective on Gunna’s experiences.
So, although One of Wun solidifies Gunna’s status in the trap scene and highlights his opportunities for growth. The album could benefit from a greater variety in production. Additionally, a deeper dive into the rapper’s personal narrative would have helped. Despite this, Gunna’s loyal fan base will likely find much to enjoy in the album’s familiar vibes and melodic consistency.
