Drip or Drown 2
2019“A fluid, cohesive debut that defined his sound”
Produced almost entirely by Wheezy and Turbo, Drip or Drown 2 is the cleanest expression of what Gunna does. "One Call" and "Speed It Up" glide on liquid melodies, "Derek Fisher" with Lil Baby carries the chemistry of their Drip Harder run, and "3 Headed Snake" brings in Young Thug. Reviews were largely positive. Metacritic: 76.
