That's 5 | Gunna

Kevin Kosanovich

Kevin holds a Ph.D. in American studies and is an expert in American cultural history and hip-hop. He is the Senior Content Manager at StockX.

Hailing from Atlanta, Gunna has been rising to the top of the rap game over the last several years, dropping multiple mixtapes and the 2019 album, “Drip or Drown 2.” StockX recently caught up with Gunna for the latest installment of “That’s 5,” where the Chanel aficionado talks about his influences, building his fan base, and how he’s over people going to jail for weed.

The following interview has been edited for length and clarity. 

What Influences You?

Me being a role model and people looking up to me. Like my fans and family.

Most Overrated?

Charging people for weed, that’s overrated; people going to jail for weed, that’s overrated.

Most underrated?

A lot of hip-hop artists are underrated, like Lil Keed, and Lil Gotit. There’s just too many to name.

Most excited about right now?

Selling out all my shows on tour and building my stage performance. Right now, today, that’s what I’m most excited about.

What’s next for you?

Another album. A bigger tour. A bigger fan base. That’s what’s next.

Bonus Question: Was that 5?

Yep.
