When the history books open up, "Drip" will forever be associated with the meteoric and platinum rise of Gunna.

Not to mention, he joined forces with frequent collaborator
Lil Baby for the collaborative Drip Harder, which bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200. The project yielded the platinum Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit "
Drip Too Hard" and gold "
Never Recover" [with Drake]. He teamed up with
Travis Scott and NAV for the ASTROWORLD favorite "Yosemite,"
Mariah Carey for "Stay Long Love You," and
