Gunna achieved diamond certification by the RIAA and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance for his 2018 collaboration single, ‘Drip Too Hard,’ which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. This breakthrough followed his pivotal signing in 2016 with Young Thug’s YSL Records, an imprint of 300 Entertainment. Gunna initiated his influential mixtape series with Drip Season (2016), featuring Young Thug, Lil Duke, and Nechie. He continued to build momentum with Drip Season 2 (2017), including collaborations with Playboi Carti and Offset, and released his debut extended play, Drip or Drown (late 2017), produced entirely by Wheezy and featuring Young Thug.
His commercial mixtape Drip Season 3 (2018) further expanded his reach, moderately entering the Billboard 200 and showcasing artists like Lil Durk, Nav, and Lil Yachty. Building on the success of ‘Drip Too Hard,’ Gunna further cemented his collaboration with Lil Baby on their joint mixtape, Drip Harder (2018), which soared to number four on the Billboard 200. His debut studio album, Drip or Drown 2 (2019), continued this upward trajectory, securing the number three position on the Billboard 200. That same year, he was featured on Young Thug’s ‘Hot,’ which reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Most recently, Gunna released his album One of Wun in 2024, which achieved a peak position of number two on the Billboard 200. Looking ahead, he has announced The Last Wun for 2025, slated to be his final album release under the YSL/300 imprint.
