![]() Not only does Gunna deliver two perfect verses on this track, but he finishes it off with an insanely catchy chorus that you can’t seem to get out of your head, singing, “I’m out the hood, but I’m hood melodic, I smoke good narcotics, keep my diamonds polished.” Courtesy of LookLive The simple slow guitar sample mixed with hard-hitting 808s and a Chinese flute perfectly complement Gunna’s monotonic and in-tune verses about Mercedes and Rolexes. Gunna has become famous for frequently using sampled guitar melodies in his songs and he continues this pattern in tracks such as “Yao Ming,” “On a Mountain” and “Out the Hood.” However, “Out the Hood,” which was my favorite song on the album, offers something that no other song is able to do. The album begins with “Wit It,” a track that utilizes the Gunna’s deep vocal ability to speak upon the importance of loyalty over an underwater synth type beat to match the album cover portraying Gunna drowning in his “drip.” While I have found that most albums are traditionally formatted with the best songs coming first, in my opinion, Gunna did the exact opposite, as my favorite songs came last on the tracklist with songs such as “Who you foolin” and “Same Yung N****.” ![]() 22, Gunna released his long-awaited debut solo studio album “Drip or Drown 2,” a sequel to his November 2017 EP “Drip or Drown.” Instead of the abrasive, violent and hard-hitting style that many other rappers utilize today, Gunna takes advantage of the smooth, elaborate and 808 bass filled beats produced by Wheezy and Turbo to deliver melodic and catchy verses about heavy medication, exotic vehicles and, of course, designer clothes. Gunna sprung on to the mainstream hip-hop scene in 2018 after emerging as a popular Soundcloud artist, releasing “Drip Season 3” (the third entry in his Drip Season mixtape series), “Drip Harder” (Lil Baby and Gunna’s debut collaborative album), as well as being featured on Travis Scott’s “Astroworld”, Young Thug’s “Slime Language”. Gunna, otherwise known as Sergio Kitchens, has become infamous for his “drip.” From rap songs portraying his expensive lifestyle ranging from million dollar Audemar Piguet watches and foreign cars to renting out an aquarium and hosting a live listening party alongside fish and sharks, Gunna has proven to have a lavish style like no other.
