Last time I checked, this guy had a few dozen hundreds of millions of views on streaming platforms. Sergio Giavanni Kitchens also known as Gunna, College Park, Georgia. I've never heard of him, but this record somehow came first in the US and Canada, and did well in Europe too.
This project, fifty grueling minutes divided into eighteen tracks, is particularly bland. It looks like some sort of "Eternal Atake 3" by Lil Uzi Vert and in fact doesn't differ much: simple and decent trap production, lame pop hooks, simple spoken delivery aided by autotune, trivial arguments typically braggadocio. There are several Young Thug vibes, he's also in the role of guest a couple of times here, where he saves his spots ("Dollaz on My Head", "Far"; I don't know how coincidental that can be, but in these choices the beats are better than usual); the other guests are fine too, maybe they aren't brilliant, but they aren't bad, not as bad as Gunna alone: the dude lacks originality throughout the album and, like all trappers since the mid-2010s, he tries to imitating Future, unsuccessfully and with a particularly ridiculous result, despite the help of the autotune ("Skybox"), but, on the other hand, imitating Future and being successful is not the easiest undertaking in the world, only the Panda-boy has succeeded and now where is he? Exactly. Gunna is already forgotten, even before arriving, 3/10.
