TOP 5
Honorable Mention. wgft (Ft. Burna Boy)
Hey, if Enrique Iglaseas can say it, why can’t Gunna and Burna Boy?
You could argue that “wgft” is the most unique track on The Last Wun. It boasts a distinctive tempo paired with jazzy, intoxicating production layered with sly, midnight vibes that will have your woman malfunctioning like the DOGE website.
The blunt and catchy chorus steals the spotlight, while Burna Boy delivers a brash, standout verse that adds extra fire. Gunna, meanwhile, comes off like the guy with hotels on speed dial—effortlessly smooth and nasty as f**k.
This track might take a few listens to fully grow on you, but its potential is undeniable.
5. many nights
I actually like it when Gunna plays victim.
“many nights,” the intro to this album, immediately sets the tone for what Gunna is bringing. The track features a moody yet uptempo trap beat that tries to beat reflection out of you. Gunna delivers just that, opening up about the many nights he cried, the countless hours he hustled, and the stacks of money he’s been counting. While I wish Gunna dialed back the slurring just a bit on his verses, the track’s chilly vibe, his defiant lyrics, and slippery melody more than make up for it.
4. sakpase
“Sakpase” means “I’ll slap the hell out of you” in Yugoslavian, I think.
I’m cool with introspective Gunna, African Gunna, and “Ski” Gunna, but the best version might just be sly Gunna, which is exactly what we get on “sakpase.” The track rides an elegant trap beat that demands you open the f**king doors, or you ain’t getting any ass. Gunna comes through slicker than ever, delivering one of his slipperiest flows while sounding completely unbothered. He spits about dudes with empty pockets, grinding nonstop for money, jet-setting overseas, and holding it down in his block. With an excellent hook, sharp lyrics, and some top-tier bragging, this song is pure finesse.
3. on me
Jesus, I felt this one in my soul. Someone pass me a tissue with a sprinkle of Lucky Charms dust on it, please (I want to feel something, wh*re).
How the hell can you not feel “on me” deep in your soul? It should hit you hard—unless you’re Richie Rich or some s**t. Gunna talks about living out his dreams but still battling sleepless nights, carrying the weight of the world, and taking risky bets. The track’s piano-driven instrumental is melancholic and lonely, which pushes Gunna to rap in a droopy, somber style. Yet, he still glides effortlessly through his verses and delivers a chorus that really strikes a chord. Seriously, listen to this song and let it sink in.
2. cfwm
Holy s**t, this song is amazing! F**k y’all hating on Gunna!
It’s a shame that many people turned off this album after the first 20 tracks, because the 21st track, “cfwm,” blew me away. The song features a calm instrumental, like the rest of the tracks do; however, with a bit more edge and a nice bounce, which pushes Gunna to deliver some of his boldest vocals and cleanest flows. He talks about people who pocket watch and how he’s wearing his heart on his sleeve these days, wiping off dirt in the process. While Gunna absolutely shines, whatever that AI robot sound on the chorus is might be my favorite part of the track.
1. forever be mine (Ft. Wizkid)
Thank God these chicks sold their souls so that these ninjas can make this track.
Instant five stars. “forever be mine” features a sensual, soothing instrumental that nearly made me toss my funky boxers at my wife. Gunna delivers a flawless verse with the album’s stickiest, most intoxicating melody. His lyrics speak to a woman he sees as his forever, though that forever could be short if you know who gets their hands on some nukes.
Wizkid brings Nigerian flair, adding a verse dripping with his sexiest vocals, singing about diving deep into his woman’s ocean and her loyalty rivaling Dame D.O.L.L.A. and them. Not a single complaint about this track. Actually, toss Wizkid off this track, and I think I would’ve liked it a little better.

RGM RATING

Do you know what’s overrated? Collaborations. Back in Gunna’s B.S. (Before Snitching) era, he had every single person you loved featured on his album. But in A.S. (After Snitching), he lost a lot of support from his peers. Honestly, I prefer Gunna A.S., and The Last Wun proves why. On this album, I love how defiant his lyrics sound as he talks about being left for dead by old friends, rising again, grinding hard to stack money, and still getting the best women, even when times get tough.
And do you know what else is overrated? Telling someone to switch up a formula that works. Many will say this album sounds like his previous ones, but the vibes across these projects are way too infectious and dope to ignore. Plus, you can’t complain about the melodies Gunna delivers—they’re damn intoxicating. What’s underrated, though, is artists who can say what they need to say concisely. Gunna doesn’t do that here. For a 25-track project, we need more versatility, both from him and the production. There’s a thin line between doing what you do best and evolving, and I don’t think Gunna fully found that balance on this album. But at the end of the day, the vibes are undeniable, which is why I’ll definitely keep coming back to it. Also, there isn’t a single bad song here.
I feel like I contradicted the hell out of myself on this conclusion. Reviewing albums can be confusing sometimes, just like timeshare instructions.
