Gunna Drops New Album The Last Wun Featuring a Tribute to Haitian Culture

Gunna Drops New Album The Last Wun Featuring a Tribute to Haitian Culture
  • PublishedAugust 24, 2025

Atlanta, GA – August 2025 – American rapper Gunna has released his long-awaited album The Last Wun, a landmark project that not only showcases his musical evolution but also marks the official end of his collaboration with YSL Records. The album, which features 25 tracks, is filled with star-studded collaborations — including appearances by Offset, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Asake, and Nechie.

But for Haitians and the global diaspora, one particular track stands out: a song titled “Sak Pase.”

“Sak Pase”: Haitian Culture on a Global Stage

“Sak Pase,” a phrase that literally means “What’s up?” in Haitian Creole, is widely used both in Haiti and across the diaspora as a cultural greeting. By choosing this title, Gunna shines a spotlight on Haitian identity in a way rarely seen at such a global level in hip-hop and Afrobeats.

The track blends trap-style rap with Afrobeats rhythms, creating a cross-continental sound that bridges American hip-hop culture with African and Caribbean roots. This artistic choice not only reflects Gunna’s versatility but also demonstrates his respect for Creole culture and the Haitian community’s influence in music and beyond.

A Star-Studded Project

The Last Wun is loaded with heavy-hitting collaborations:

  • Offset, bringing raw Atlanta rap energy.
  • Burna Boy, the Nigerian Grammy winner who continues to merge Afrofusion with mainstream hip-hop.
  • Wizkid, one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, adding his signature smooth Afrobeats touch.
  • Asake, another Nigerian star whose rise has been meteoric in the global Afrobeats scene.
  • Nechie, a longtime YSL affiliate, contributing to the project’s balance of street authenticity and mainstream appeal.

With 25 tracks, the album positions itself as one of Gunna’s most ambitious projects yet, both musically and culturally.

A Farewell to YSL

Beyond the music itself, The Last Wun carries special significance: it marks Gunna’s final project under YSL Records, the label closely tied to Young Thug. In recent years, YSL has been embroiled in high-profile legal cases, making Gunna’s career trajectory even more closely watched.

By branding this as The Last Wun, Gunna signals both the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new era in his career, possibly hinting at greater independence and global collaborations.

Why Haitians Are Proud

For Haitians around the world, the track “Sak Pase” is more than just another song — it’s a moment of recognition. In a time when Caribbean and African sounds are becoming increasingly dominant in global music, Gunna’s decision to highlight a Haitian Creole expression reflects the growing influence of Haiti’s language and culture.

This gesture carries symbolic weight: it places Creole on a global playlist, giving visibility to a nation often overlooked in mainstream music, despite its deep contributions to art, culture, and resistance movements worldwide.

Conclusion

Gunna’s The Last Wun is more than a farewell to YSL Records — it’s a bold statement about the interconnectedness of music, culture, and identity. By collaborating with African superstars and paying tribute to Haitian culture through the track “Sak Pase,” Gunna cements his place not only as a hip-hop artist but also as a cultural bridge-builder.

For Haiti and its diaspora, the moment is one of pride. As Gunna’s voice spreads globally, so too does the sound of Creole.
