Gunna Delivers First Verse Sinc His Release From Jail On Ufo361’s “BRODIES”

by

Gunna hasn’t dropped a “First Day Out” freestyle yet but he quietly made his return to music this week on German artist Ufo361’s single, “BRODIES.”

This morning, Ufo361 released the new single, as well as an accompanying visual. The song boasts production from Neal & Alex, Oz, and The Cratez, who cook up an exhilarating and glossy soundscape for Ufo361 and Gunna’s collab. The ATL rapper takes on the first verse where he dishes on a life of luxury after claiming that he’s “countin’ bands with my brodies.” Though it’s not the return that many anticipated, Gunna clearly hasn’t lost his touch since his incarceration.

In contrast to Gunna’s more melodic delivery, Ufo361 comes through swinging with a rapid triplet flow. He raps largely in German while throwing in a bit of English throughout his lyrics.

“Brodie” marks Gunna’s first piece of music he’s dropped since he was released in December. It’s also the second collaboration between Gunna and Ufo361. The two previously collided on the single, “On Time” in 2019.

Some had doubts that Gunna would come home to a prosperous career. And while it feels like only a few rappers continue to show their support for the DS4EVER rapper, he’s clearly getting love overseas. Perhaps, it’s a sign that we’ll be hearing Gunna explore international sounds in the future, especially as many of his close friends and collaborators distance themselves from him.

Quotable Lyrics
488 ‘Rari, hundred racks a party
I’m stickin’ to my plan, ’bout that cash, I can’t bargain
Oh, yeah, I’m a top artist
With a bag full of narcotics
Hear the horses when you start it

Fans Compare Gunna & Lil Baby Fallout To Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan Split

The Fallout

After Lil Baby unfollowed one of his top collaborators, Gunna, on Instagram, Fans on Twitter are comparing the unfollow to the 2015 fallout between Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug despite the years they collaborated. Recently, Lil Baby unfollowed Gunna, who is facing criticism for allegedly cooperating with the judge and allegedly outing YSL as […]

Gunna Dissed By Lil Durk & Unfollowed By Lil Baby

After Gunna’s release from prison following a plea deal, the rap world reacted with mixed emotions. Many thought the YSL rapper snitched on his codefendants, while others understand the circumstances. However, some are apparently taking stronger stances. Lil Durk teased a song on Instagram that seemingly shaded Gunna, while Lil Baby unfollowed the “pushin p” rapper on Instagram.

“What happened to Virgil? He probably gon’ tell,” rapper Durk in the song tease. “I let him go because Timo ain’t selling / Thank 7 and Booka I’m bragging on Melvin / When lil boo and them mad it ain’t nothing you can tell them / I can tell you what I did for the streets / you got the paperwork, did it and reached / I got on Clubhouse and got in the beef.”

Moreover, both Durkio and Gunna appeared on the track “What Happened To Virgil,” which is what really points this diss. Also, there’s the mention of paperwork. While this could honestly be interpreted as an open diss, it’s hard not to think of Gunna given their collab and the timeliness of his release. Still, this one is relatively up in the air.

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Lil Baby stopped following his “Drip Too Hard” co-spitter on Instagram. What makes this exchange interesting is that the It’s Only Me rapper has a collab album with both these artists. In fact, given the wide overlap of their fanbases, this news is as sad as it is understandable. With the current conversation around snitching, artists are bound to draw the line somewhere.

These developments came during Young Thug’s RICO trial, which he faces with 13 other codefendants. Furthermore, the last update we got was a report that someone tried to smuggle marijuana to an unnamed defendant.

What do you think of Lil Durk seemingly dissing Gunna and Lil Baby unfollowing his Atlanta partner? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest from Gunna, snitch allegations, and the YSL case.

Reese LaFlare Blasts CBS News For Mistaking Him For Young Thug

by

Once again, Reese LaFlare is calling out news outlets for confusing him with Young Thug. As the YSL case heats up during the jury selection, networks are jumping on the story with updates about the RICO charges. Fourteen co-defendants, including Young Thug, are headed to trial, and for the second time in a week, Resse LaFlare’s photo is being used by outlets.

On Instagram, Reese uploaded a screenshot of CBS News‘s televised report of the case where they claimed he was Young Thug. “Alright @cbsnews y’all got me F*CKED UP,” the rapper penned in the caption.

“Y’all posting ME on national Television as another person in a NEGATIVE light ruining my Brand and image ‼” Reese continued. “This is Proof y’all don’t really know anything about Black People.”

“It Takes 1 second to use google and see who this actually is. This is nuts because @newsweek @foxnews Ran this same image of me … FREE @thuggerthugger1 and All the brothers ❤.”

As he mentioned, Reese recently told Fox 26 News in Houston to stop using his image to report on Thug’s case.

He later added, “I mean [I] do have a YSL chain on in the pic but cmon now.”

Despite the ongoing headache of being confused for someone facing RICO charges, Reese continues to support Thugger. “Free Jeffery,” he tweeted alongside a photo of Young Thug and Donald Glover.

Meanwhile, CBS News, nor the other outlets that mistook Reese for Thug, have issued apologies or statements about the mixups. Hip Hop supports LaFlare and calls for major media to rectify the situation.

YSL Judge Says Someone Smuggled Marijuana For Unnamed Defendant: Report

by

The RICO case involving alleged YSL associates has been filled with twists and turns. Eight co-defendants have already agreed to plea deals, including Gunna, and six others reportedly won’t go to trial because they haven’t yet secured attorneys. That means Young Thug and 13 others will face a judge and jury, and while the trial hasn’t officially begun, things are heating up in the courtroom.

We’ve been steadily covering the updates during the jury selection. Potential jurors are being vetted during the hardships portion of the process, and several have been excused. The judge recently ordered one juror to write a 30-page essay after they skipped a court hearing.

Now, Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Jozsef Papp has returned with another YSL update. On Twitter, Papp shared that “Judge Glanville announced there is going to be an investigation.” Someone reportedly attempted to smuggle in contraband.

They allegedly “brought clothing for one of the defendants with contraband (marijuana) in the shoes.” He further added, “Glanville said one of the defendants also refused with cooperating this morning (taking a shower and getting dressed) and defendants during transport yesterday were causing problems.”

Young Thug reportedly faces eight of the initial 65 charges set against the purported YSL affiliates.

“Mr. Williams has committed no crime whatsoever,” his attorney Brian Steel told ABC News. “We will fight this case ethically, legally, and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared.”

Those who copped to plea deals admitted that YSL was a criminal organization, while Thugger’s supporters state it is only a record label. There have been reports regarding the prosecution allegedly targeting Young Thug as the believed leader of YSL. If convicted, the rapper faces decades behind bars.

While Gunna seemingly enjoys his freedom, he has been a hot topic on social media. Both fans and the rapper’s peers have weighed in on his plea deal.
