As of today (June 16), Gunna released his fourth studio album, a Gift & Curse, which consists of fifteen songs including zero features and with production coming from artists including CuBeatz, 88Krazy, Fresh Ayr, EVRGRN, Ghetto Guitar, Mario Petersen, Omar Grand, Swiff D, LNK, Pooh Beatz, and more. Various producers, such as Turbo, Omar Grand, and Cam Griffin, contributed to the production of the surprise album, which came with a single titled “bread & butter,” which was a response to those who have ostracized him since Gunna was released from prison to great acclaim.
There is no doubt that the new album a Gift & a Curse is a great follow up to 2022’s DS4EVER. It featured 20 songs and collaborations with Future, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Chris Brown, Drake, Chlöe, Lil Baby, G Herbo, Kodak Black, Roddy Ricch, and more. In the first week following the release of the project, it rocketed to the top of the charts with an estimated 150,000 equivalent album units sold. In the years since then, Gunna has liberated various loose singles with the release of “Banking On Me” and contributed to a multitude of songs from other artists, including Pharrell Williams “Functional Addict,” Cordae “Today,” Lil Durk “What Happened To Virgil,” DJ Khaled “FAM GOOD, WE GOOD,” Pooh Shiesty “Certified,” and Metro Boomin “All The Money.”

It was back in February that Fredo announced that the sequel to his 2018 mixtape Tables Turn would be released. As he released “Everybody Knows” last Thursday (June 8), the rapper gave fans a taste of what the record might have in store for them. It is a turn-of-the-century hip-hop track with retro production produced by Roddy Beatz and Young Chencs reminiscent of the turn of the century in hip-hop. It is clear that the West London emcee hasn’t forgotten his street roots on the infectious cut, on which he recounts his gritty street life and hard-earned wealth as he raps about his past on the street.
Fredo gives us a glimpse of his entrepreneurial skills in the video for his song “Everybody Knows,” directed by Suave, as he shares his experiences as the part owner of the sneaker retailer Kick Game, that has expanded its operation into many different cities throughout the United Kingdom since it was established in 2013. Through the course of the video, the independent rapper guides viewers through his product warehouse, takes them along to business meetings with his peers, and shows off the fleet of cars that he keeps on hand for his leisure.
On the 28th of August of 2021, Fredo released his third studio LP under the name Independence Day, the first album he released since leaving RCA Records. During the creation of this project, fourteen tracks were recorded and additional features were provided by Clavish, Potter Payper, Headie One, and Sus. Throughout this period of time, Fredo has continued to keep his momentum going by releasing well-received songs, such as “Dave Flow” and “I’m Back.” In addition, he has also been able to provide his unique style of bars to Clavish “Monday To Sunday” and Dave “In The Fire.”
