After working on ScHoolboy Q's Grammy-nominated song “Collard Greens” and Rapsody’s album Laila’s Wisdom, Gwen Bunn knows what it takes to make it as a solo artist. Her newest single "No Days Off" is a mellow ode to all the hard work she's been putting in around the clock. It's not the street anthem you might expect a motivational song to be, but instead it captures the exhausted sense of accomplishment you feel looking back after a long journey.
In an email, Bunn explained the moment she composed the song: "I wrote this song while I was in grind mode finishing up my album so it represents that state of mind. I needed to write an anthem for anyone who knows what it feels like to be 100 percent locked in and focused.”

Look out for a new project from Bunn in the fall.
