This week, an Atlanta rapper is back in the spotlight with a new project, a Chicago drill pioneer drops an oft-delay sequel, a beloved Wu-Tang Clan member delivers a star-studded album and more.

Gunna Returns on One of Wun Album

Less than a year after dropping his well-received comeback album A Gift & A CurseGunna is back with the brand new LP One of Wun. The new offering has a robust 20-song tracklist. However, Wunna does most of the heavy lifting, as there are only two guest appearances from Offset, Roddy Ricch, Leon Bridges and Normani. One of Wun features the single "Prada Dem," which peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.
