We all saw this coming so it comes as no surprise that Gunna is officially making his exit from the YSL Records roster. The Atlanta-bred rapper just revealed his next album, The Last Wun, and confirmed it will be his final release under the label that helped launch him from the streets to the global stage.
Get this, the announcement, which hit the Gram along with the hashtag #TheLastWun, immediately sent fans and industry watchers into a frenzy. While the official drop date has not been revealed yet, all signs are pointing to a summer release. For Gunna, this album is more than a sendoff. It signals the end of one era and the start of another, both musically and personally.
In case you missed it, Gunna has been at the center of serious conversation since his 2022 release from jail following the highly publicized RICO case involving members of the YSL crew. Although many welcomed his return to the mic, others cast doubt on his street credibility, sparking nonstop online debates about his role in the legal saga and where he stands in today’s rap culture.
Even in the face of controversy, if there even is one tbh, Gunna has not missed a step. His 2023 project a Gift & a Curse reminded everyone why he is one of the most distinctive voices in the game. With a mix of introspective bars and smooth melodies, the album drew widespread acclaim and kept his name ringing even as tensions around his YSL ties simmered beneath the surface.
Now comes The Last Wun, a title that carries weight. It suggests finality, but it does not sound like goodbye. Instead, the energy feels like a declaration. Gunna is not walking away in silence. He is stepping out with intention. “The Last Wun” feels like the kind of project that turns a page while still acknowledging the journey it took to get here.
