GUNNA
WUNNA
2020
Official album cover for Gunna’s 2nd studio album, “WUNNA”. To describe who Wunna is we looked for answers in the stars. The cover contains an astrological breakdown of Wunna’s personality with a reinterpretation of his exact Natal Chart combined with a Vitruvian pose.
In 2017, Spotify’s RapCaviar created a real-world Pantheon, complete with life-sized sculptures of the three biggest breakthrough artists of the year. In 2019, RapCaviar announced the return of Pantheon, as well as its 2019 inductees—Cardi B, Jaden Smith, Juice WRLD, and Gunna—four cultural disruptors who are making an undeniable impact on hip-hop. In ancient times, when a hero was celebrated, they were solidified in materials like stone, marble, or bronze in positions that embodied their achievements. The four 2019 RapCaviar inductees were honored similarly, with masterfully crafted life-size sculptures that capture their vibrant personalities.
