Gunna, HIM ALL ALONG | Song Review 🎵

[usr 4]

Grammy-nominated melodic rapper Gunna brings the heat on his confident, potent rap banger, “HIM ALL ALONG.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“S” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]crooge McDuck, got one of my rooms all flooded with gold (Gold) / I done bought two, four, five, six, seven, eight karats in stones (In stones).” Mentioning Scrooge McDuck in the opening line of the first verse of “HIM ALL ALONG” is badass, Gunna! Scrooge McDuck helps the melodic rapper illustrate his point flawlessly.  The banger features a sleek, ‘cool energy’ backdrop produced by Turbo and Yung Bleu. A sickening beat anchors it.  As electrifying as the accompaniment is, it is ‘HIM,’ Gunna who ‘kicks ass and takes names’ on “HIM ALL ALONG.”[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

Throughout “HIM ALL ALONG,” Gunna is melodic.  The cadence and flow are intriguing – on-point! During the verses, the melodic lines are rhythmic to the nth degree.  In the first verse, he asserts, “Hold my team, now I plant the seed, give it water to grow… / Half a million euros in a third-world country, I travel the coast… / Always said that I wanted, young Wunna done done it, I do what they don’t.” The second verse begins with a swallowing reference. He also informs us that he’s  “really a martian / Excusin’ me through like a pardon, and I’m protected by carbons.” EXTRATERRESTRIAL! The chorus is a flex:

“They was tryna stunt my growth, I was steady chasin’ my goals
Nigga, why you watchin’? I’m grown, nigga can’t take my throne
Goin’ through the motions, stay strong, he done been him all along (Him)
Look at all this money we done grown, lot of different places I done flown.”

Although “HIM ALL ALONG” is relatively brief, it’s potent AF. Gunna has no shortage of confidence and personality.
