Once Gunna dropped Friday (Jun. 16), he began trending No. 1 on Twitter, with fans sharing rave reviews. Stream the album at the end of the page.

a Gift & a Curse, his fourth studio album, arrives with 15 tracks and clocks in it at just over 45 minutes. However, Gunna included zero features, a rarity in the current climate, and Twitter couldn’t stop talking about it.

“no features and didn’t need wheezy’s production,” wrote one fan. “just gunna rapping with a chip on his shoulder. this s### means something to me.”

Others pointed to Gunna’s nods to Young Thug on a Gift & a Curse, taking the shout-outs as a sign all is well between the pair, despite the rumors.

“Only I done cried, ‘cause this feelin’ for my bro (King Slime),” Gunna raps on “I Was Just Thinking.” Meanwhile, “Ca$h $hit” includes the lyrics, Hide the barrel, man, free my bro Jeffro.”

However, Thug mysteriously teased the arrival of a new offering shortly after Gunna dropped the album. He shared a countdown to next Friday (Jun. 13) via a QR code on his Instagram account.

A number of other producers and artists shared identical cryptic posts leading fans to believe an album is coming. Lil Durk, G Herbo, Metro Boomin, London On Da Track, Wheezy, and Southside all posted the code. Some people on Twitter also saw the rumored album as a reaction to Gunna’s new project.

“The whole industry teaming up against gunna💀” one user shared.
