Gunna Previews Music From New Album On “Bittersweet” Tour’s Opening Night

by

Gunna previewed music from his upcoming fourth studio album, One of Wun, during the opening night show of his Bittersweet tour. The concert comes after the release of his latest single from the project, “Whatsapp (Wassam),” which he shared last week.

When DJ Akademiks posted a clip of Gunna performing the track on Instagram, fans expressed their excitement in the comments section. One user wrote: “I knew gonna was gonna be the best since his Drip or Drown days, his flow is just too smooth.” Another compared the release to Kendrick Lamar’s recent output amid his ongoing feud with Drake. “This new gunna song is better than every Kendrick song so far,” they wrote.

Speaking with XXL for an interview last month, Gunna told the outlet that the new output is reflective of his growth as an artist. “I think it’s more like it speaks for yourself. It’s self-explanatory,” he explained. “You see the growth. You see me evolving as an artist. And that’s what I’m doing, just evolving as an artist.” He further elaborated on how his mindstate has changed over the years. “As I evolve, my music evolves, too. I’m not the same 24-year-old that was putting out Drip Season 3, you know what I’m sayin’?” he said. “Now I’m 30, and I’m dropping “Bittersweet” and A Gift & A Curse. That resonates with how I’m living. Back then, it did, too. But that was for that time. So, this time, I’m just evolving differently, but it transpired over to the music, too.” Check out the clip of Gunna performing new music below.

Drake & J. Cole Perform “In The Morning” For First Time In 10 Years: See Tour Setlist

by

The Big As The What? tour officially kicked off in Tampa on Friday (February 2), and fans couldn’t be more excited for this Super Bowl. Moreover, Drake and J. Cole reportedly performed a whopping 53 songs in total across their solo discographies and collaborative efforts for their opening show. Of course, some of these tracks were shortened, mixed with others, and altered to make it a cohesive and engaging rapid-fire experience. It was a lot of material from the Toronto superstar, which isn’t surprising considering that this is an “expansion” of his It’s All A Blur trek with 21 S*vage. Still, it’s been great to see highlights from this online, especially their first performance on their collab “In The Morning” in over a decade.

Furthermore, this setlist includes classic cuts from their early 2010s eras, as well as some of their more recent releases. Drake’s For All The Dogs shows up quite a bit here, and J. Cole performed an acapella version of one of his best 2023 features, Lil Yachty’s “The Secret Recipe.” In addition, the two also reflected strong chemistry from what we’ve seen online, which is unsurprising considering their close relationship and bond. One collab track they apparently didn’t perform this time, though, is “Evil Ways,” one of their most recent lyrical stunners.
