Question 1

Does Gunna write his own songs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and he shares the credit on nearly all of it. Sergio Kitchens, his legal name, appears in the writing credits of every track on Wunna, DS4Ever and A Gift & a Curse. What sits beside his name changes the picture. In trap the person who builds the beat is usually registered as a co-writer of the composition, so Wheezy, credited as Wesley Glass, and Turbo, credited as Chandler Durham, turn up as writers on songs they also produced. His catalogue is a shared authorship rather than a solo one: the raps and melodies are his, and the track underneath comes from a small circle he keeps returning to.

Question 2

Who writes with Gunna most often?

Accepted Answer

Wheezy and Turbo. On Wunna, Wesley Glass shares the writing credit on "Argentina", "Blindfold", "Met Gala" and "Do Better", while Chandler Durham shares it on "Wunna", "Skybox" and "Far". Both carry over to DS4Ever, where Glass is credited on "Pushin P", "25k Jacket" and "Too Easy" and Durham on "Livin Wild", "South to West" and "So Far Ahead > Empire".

Question 3

Why do producers show up in Gunna's writing credits?

Accepted Answer

The composition credit covers the music as well as the words. A trap beat is an original composition, so the producer who made it is registered as a co-writer of the song. That is why Wheezy is listed as a writer on "Pushin P" and Turbo on "Bread & Butter", both tracks they also produced.

Question 4

Who produces most of Gunna's music?

Accepted Answer

Wheezy and Turbo run through the whole catalogue. Wheezy produced the 2017 EP Drip or Drown by himself, then produced or co-produced a large share of Wunna and DS4Ever, including "Argentina", "Blindfold", "Pushin P" and "Too Easy". Turbo produced "Wunna" and "Far", and on A Gift & a Curse he handled "Back at It", "Bread & Butter" and "Turned Your Back". Metro Boomin, Mike Will Made It, Tay Keith, Pi'erre Bourne and Taurus also hold production credits across his albums.

Question 5

Does Gunna produce records himself?

Accepted Answer

His credits list record producer alongside rapper, singer and songwriter. The beats on Wunna, DS4Ever and A Gift & a Curse are credited to other producers, so on those albums his authorship sits in the writing credit he holds on every song rather than in the production.

Question 6

Which collaborators shaped his catalogue?

Accepted Answer

Young Thug and Lil Baby. Thug signed him to YSL Records in 2016 and guests across Wunna and DS4Ever on "Dollaz on My Head", "Far" and "Mop", and he is credited as a writer on the songs he appears on. Lil Baby shares the 2018 mixtape Drip Harder with him, features on "Blindfold" and "25k Jacket", and is credited as a writer on "Blindfold".

Question 7

How did the RICO case change who he works with?

Accepted Answer

He was arrested in May 2022 in a 56-count RICO indictment against YSL Records, and in December 2022 he pleaded guilty to a single racketeering charge and was released. The album that followed, A Gift & a Curse in June 2023, lists no featured guests on its track listing. Wheezy is absent from its credits, while Turbo produced "Back at It", "Bread & Butter" and "Turned Your Back" among others.

Question 8

Did he write about the case himself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. "Bread & Butter" speaks on his arrest and on allegations that he informed on Young Thug. It sits on A Gift & a Curse and is co-written with Turbo, Omar Perrin and Cameron Griffin.

Question 9

What is Gunna Music?

Accepted Answer

His own imprint. A Gift & a Curse and One of Wun both list Gunna Music on their label line alongside YSL and 300, the first of his albums to carry it.

Question 10

How much of his chart run comes from guest verses?

Accepted Answer

A large part of it. His discography counts 141 singles, including 68 as a featured artist. His highest-charting song as a featured artist is Young Thug's "Hot", which reached number 11 on the Hot 100 after a remix that added Travis Scott.
