SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — Atlanta rapper and four-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Gunna has teamed up with the Black Music Action Coalition to launch the Gunna x BMAC 30349 Guaranteed Income Program.

“My goal was to uplift my hometown by providing resources that could make a tangible difference in at least one household,” Gunna said. “The Guaranteed Income program in South Fulton is a significant step toward enhancing these communities and transforming the economic landscape of the city. "

The program will officially launch on September 18. Applications are now open for the program.
