As Gunna readies his anticipated new album, Wunna, for release on Friday, he’s been doing a bit of press. This morning, he connected with The Breakfast Club Skype for an interview that touched on the new album, recording in Jamaica and more.

As far as the release date goes, Gunna chalks up the delay to simple procrastination: “I procrastinating so much.I ended up just coming to this date,” he shared. “I recorded a little over half [of the album] in Jamaica. The documentary going to show you, like me making the songs, literally. Just from different vibes.”

They divert the conversation to Young Thug and how he’s played a role not only in Gunna’s new album (Gunna says he’s always asking Thugger for his input and advice), but in Gunna’s career as a whole. When Charlamagne Tha God asks who he thinks helped him more in hip-hop, Young Thug or Lil Baby, Gunna responds promptly with “Thug.” “I feel like Thug helped me, as far as me being an artist more and just learning the game cause he had already been in it. And Baby, just kinda created the history together, so it was bigger.”

Perhaps the most interesting bit from the 23-minute interview though, arrives when the infamous and alleged Crime Stopper-like appearance comes up. The clip which circulated heavily online in December of last year as the result of a short-lived beef with Baton Rouge-based rapper Tec, seemingly found Gunna making an apperance on some sort of local TV show discussing his cousin who was caught up with the police. The clip doesn’t really find Gunna “snitching,” but he does seem to be discussing his cousin’s case and claims his cousin’s innocence. 

When asked about it, Gunna got straight to the facts: “Man I don’t know what the fuck that’s about, Crime Stoppers what? I ain’t never stopped a crime. Never.” Still, he admits it’s him in the video– “Yes that’s me, but that wasn’t no Crime Stopper.”

He continued his defense, explaining, “Even n*ggas just saying you snitched on who? I was never in no case. See what I’m sayin?”

As far as the video clip, he also explained a little bit of the backstory behind it, revealing, “My cousin was in a jail– a little girl got killed– and another n*gga went to court and said my cousin did it, but my cousin didn’t do it. My cousin still got life for that shit, til this day.”

Soulja Boy had the biggest comeback of 2018 (don’t tell Tyga) before dropping off the face of the planet again after a short stint in jail. His viral moments propelled him back to relevancy and many of those sound bites and videos came from his appearance on The Breakfast Club. In what has since become the most-watched Breakfast Club interview ever, Soulja Boy dissed everybody from Tyga to Drake, promising that he would have the most powerful musical return of that year. To his credit, he sort of did have one of the biggest comebacks of the year. Well, after getting out of jail and returning to real life, Soulja Boy Tell’em returned to the radio show this afternoon.

Sporting a new dread-locked look, Soulja Boy explained why he’s been so quiet as of late. 

“I’m just staying out of the way. Working on the album, working on my business, keeping everything together, keeping everything on the up and up. It’s so much going on,” said Drako in the interview. He was then asked whether or not he’s heard from Drake or Tyga since he infamously trolled them in the last interview.

“I heard from everybody,” revealed the rapper. “We had a cool conversation and it was all love, man. Shout out to Drake.” 

As far as Tyga goes, their conversation seems to have been a little more strained, which makes sense.

“Shout out to Tyga too, man. It ain’t no static with Tyga neither, man. I’m just focused on myself. 2020, I’m just focused on doing me,” said Soulja Boy before elaborating. “We went back and forth on wax but it ain’t nothing. Shout out to Tyga, man.”

Earning his first-ever number one album with My Turn, Atlanta rapper Lil Baby is finally taking full form. The project, which features appearances from Gunna, Future, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo, and more, is one of the highest-selling releases of the entire year, marking an important moment in the Quality Control artist’s career. Surprisingly enough, he chose not to include any of his labelmates on the album, which is unrepresentative of what Quality Control has been about in past years. When that topic was approached during the rapper’s appearance on The Breakfast Club this week, he explained why that happened, diving into his relationships with the Migos, the City Girls, and Lil Yachty.

“Damn, that’s crazy,” said Lil Baby, realizing that he unintentionally left off all of his QC brothers and sisters from My Turn. Explaining that he and the Migos don’t really make much music together because of their different vibes, he noted that his relationship with Lil Yachty is a little more complicated.

“[Lil] Yachty is my man. Shout out to Yachty. He was like the first person at QC to grab me under his wing on some rap shit. Now I’m gone all the time, so he kinda feels like I don’t really fuck with him like that, but I really do,” said Baby about Lil Boat. “It ain’t that at all.”

On Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff, Lil Baby says that he has a song on the way with Qua and another artist, but that he doesn’t necessarily match vibes with the other two members of the group.

G Herbo took his talents over to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club and dropped a major bombshell comparing the late Chicago rapper, Juice WRLD to that have Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. The 24-year-old rapper is currently on a promo tour in promotion of his latest musical offering, PTSD (2020), which dropped earlier this week. G Herbo and the Breakfast Club clan spoke on a plethora of topics including his traumatic experiences growing up in Chicago, mental health, philanthropy, and more. However, when the topic of his brother Juice WRLD came up, the “Death Row” rapper likened him to hip-hop deities.

Towards the end of their conversation, the topic of the “Hate Me” creator arose to which G Herbo couldn’t help but compare him to hip-hop’s two greatest heavyweights, stating: 

“That’s my lil’ brother man, I think about him every single day. I be saying…like, I don’t know ’cause I’m in New York y’all probably ain’t gonna like me saying this, but I think what Juice was to our generation—the impact that he had on us—is what Biggie did for New York for real. I really think he had that Biggie Pac effect in his short time here.”

G Herbo then went on to state the importance of Juice WRLD’s impact and legacy, proclaiming:

“He helped people. … When I met that kid he had it in his eyes already, he wasn’t trying to chase the glory, he wasn’t doing none of the stuff he was doing because he was famous” Herbo continued, “Inside out, he did what made him happy, and with him being himself he got a real legacy that’s gonna live on forever. … That’s what I mean by that.”

Out of all of this week’s releases, G Herbo’s PTSD has the opportunity to do damage on the Billboard charts. While it’s still very early in his career, the Chicago-bred emcee has quickly become one of the most sought-after talents in the hip-hop realm.
