Southern hip-hop superstar Gunna is on top. The proof can be found throughout the Atlanta rapper’s latest and sixth full-lengther, The Last Wun, which is chock full of the beats, traps, and themes that got him there. The Last Wun just dropped on all major streaming platforms via Young Stoner Life/300 Entertainment on August 8, 2025, and it follows the trajectory of Gunna’s masterful ATL-centric 2024 release One of Wun, in turn bringing the artist’s ever-evolving vibes up an extra notch (or five) in the process.

(Quick public-service sidenote: Gunna is the force behind what’s been dubbed the “WUNNA RUN 5K,” which is taking place at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York, on September 3, 2025. This event will be presented by Gunna in partnership with his nonprofit, Gunna’s Great Giveaway, and NYCRUNS, and you can find out more about it here. It’s all for good causes—and good health.)

Gunna has long-perfected a certain kind of sleek, laid-back flow ever since his original mixtapes hit the scene over a decade-plus ago, and that smoove-but-sleek approach permeates the balance of the 25 tracks that make up The Last Wun. Most Last tracks clock in between 2-3 minutes at a clip—and though they do make hay in the stereo soundfield, all of them are best heard in (of course!) Dolby Atmos on Apple Music. After spending repeated time with the full 78 minutes of Gunna’s latest Wun on various platforms, I’ve chosen two of its top-tier tracks, “WGFT” and “Him All Along,” to take the shared pole position in my Atmos review spotlight this weekend.

As I tend to do in this column (and in general!), I like to listen to Atmos mixes in a number of ways—via earbuds, headphones, and open-air speakers alike—before determining which way best serves the immersive music at-hand/in-ear. In Gunna’s case, while I certainly got entrenched in The Last Wun Atmos sessions I had undertaken with a) my ever-reliable House of Marley Liberate XLBT headphones, and b) my go-to system setup that features floorstanding GoldenEar Technology Triton One loudspeakers serving as the fronts, a pair of GoldenEar Triton Sevens as the rears, and my current Sony Atmos speakers for the height channels, it was c) my AirPod Pros that wun, er, won the more intimate Gunna-in-Atmos playback sweepstakes.

For added good-measure comparison, I also listened to the Hi-Res Lossless mix of The Last Wun on a current pair of Fosi Audio i5 planar magnetic headphones for what I call BRWL—baseline real world listening—and, once again, I was impressed with how the i5’s handled the stereo parameters. Just as they insured the playback of LG Malique’s Carved in Gold mixtape EP was clean and detailed during my June 21, 2025, reviewing session (which you can read and/or refresh yourself with here), the Fosi Audio i5 phones also assured Gunna got to spread his gospel wide and true in stereo. If you wanna go with a good, solid two-channel option in your head (so to speak), the i5 phones (SRP: $549.99) are an excellent choice to do so.

As for other streaming service options, you can also access Gunna’s The Last Wun in Ultra HD on Amazon Music, MAX on Tidal, 24-bit/96kHz and MQA on HDTracks, and, er, we’ll call it “typical” on Spotify.

But now, let’s get on with the full 360 of The Last Wun in Atmos on Apple Music. After taking a few moments to appreciate the way-cool album cover artwork (as seen above), it’s time to cue up the you’ll-guess-what-it-means acronymous track, “WGFT,” which features a brief guest turn from the great Nigerian Afrobeat artist, Burna Boy. Ever in-sync with the instincts of righthand producer man Turbo (with a co-assist here by Shootie), the track unfurls with an introductory verse that commences with the expressed wonderment of “It’s so amazing what we done” appearing slightly back in the mix, but up in the ether. The repeated, four-word title phrase (a call to action, if you will) moves more outfront as the skittery sample pinwheels outward behind it, before the song’s M.O. moves waaay outfront in that signature flow, with a slight reverb at the end of each line before echoing off into the distance while the straight-up-the-middle percussion concurrently sticks its well-centered landing.

As the warbly, throaty-tuned instructions continue out front, the repeated phraseology is rolled even further back into the soundfield up on high and all around in the track’s back half—almost as if to replicate how a pesky, salacious thought may appear in the back of your own head—and then it drifts away as the wide-panned backing track carries it home. The primal, internalized intention of “WGFT” makes its case much more directly via AirPod Pro listening sessions, imo.

Closing out The Last Wun Atmos cavalcade is “Him All Along,” which opens with dramatic wide-swathed synth and a held/extended pumped note (think “Strawberry Fields Mellotron”) before Gunna namechecks Turbo ahead of the flow. (On this cut, Turbo shares production credit with Yung Bleu.) It’s a mid-tempo boast track, with three-/four-word end-of-phase repeats on the verses cascading behind him. An early key line—“They was tryna stunt my growth / I been steady chasin’ my goals”—lets you know that wealth accumulation isn’t exactly Gunna’s endgame, but rather a means to a bigger end. (Doesn’t mean he ain’t gonna rattle off big names, bigger locales, and/or biggest accomplishments along the way, though.)

In effect, Gunna shifts gears throughout each line—starting laid back, picking up the tempo for emphasis, then rolling back again—as if he’s working the clutch on his favorite ride. Statement made, the final 25 seconds of the track focus mainly on a keyboard/synth stab (a la Bernie Worrell) that willows its way around the channels. “Lotta doors open and close [. . .] Stay strong, he done been him all along,” Gunna reveals in the final, telling lines—all of its phraseology boding quite well for whatever he chooses to do next.

All around the way of the on-point trap rollercoaster that is The Last Wun, Gunna is constantly wrestling with a myriad of options for getting his mind, body, soul, and flow to ultimately come correct—and, in Atmos, he makes the strongest case for how he’s gonna get there.

“WGFT” and “Him All Along” can both be listened to in Dolby Atmos here on Gunna’s The Last Wun album on Apple Music.
