For BunnaB, it’s all about “Bunna Summa,” the song that became a TikTok sensation after its release last April: an irresistible anthem to partying, sex, sunshine, and intoxication, an ecstatic celebration of “bad girls” who just want to have fun, the perfect soundtrack for a scorching summer. But there’s more to her than that.
Back in 2023, a few years after taking up rap, the East Atlanta rapper scored her first viral breakthrough with “My Man,” earning a brief stint with a major label. Although she eventually parted ways with it – investing her advance into her own business ventures – she returned in early 2025 with another standout single, “No Drought.” It would therefore be unfair to dismiss her as a one-hit wonder. Her album, released in April and reissued in a Deluxe edition two months later, makes that abundantly clear. “Bunna Summa” naturally features prominently, alongside “Luv My Man,” a kind of sequel to “My Man.” But those tracks are far from its only strengths.
Throughout Bunna Summa (Ice Cream Summer Deluxe), BunnaB excels at crafting playful, sexy rap that champions the exact opposite of objectifying women. The album is a jubilant ode to female freedom and self-determination. On “It’s Me,” for instance, she fiercely asserts both her sexual and financial independence. On “Awf Da Perky,” and again on “Innit,” a hilarious collaboration with fellow Atlanta rapper YKNIECE, it’s the man who becomes the sexual object. On “Mad Again,” he’s a toy to be stolen from another girl. And if she feels like it, BunnaB can simply do without men altogether – or even switch sides – as she suggests on “Staddy.” More broadly, Ereunna McCoy (her real name) makes it clear she’s nobody’s pushover, most notably on the diss track “Bunna Scoop,” aimed at her rival Nem Brazyy, the woman she publicly feuded with and dismisses as “that Alabama bitch.”
The album’s other major strength lies in its clever, fresh reworking of time-tested formulas. BunnaB is part of a broader Atlanta movement that revives the spirit of early-2000s trap music – the kind pioneered by artists like Gucci Mane, where very adult themes are delivered with deliberately childlike innocence. Over nursery rhyme-like Zaytoven-inspired instrumentals, BunnaB sings about ice cream, slips into melodies that evoke childhood (“Ice Cream Girl”), and repeats her simultaneously goofy and endearing signature ad-lib, “ah-da-da-da.”
Twenty years on, when this formula is paired with humor and cheeky confidence, who can resist it?
