"Sold Out Dates" is a song by American rapper Gunna featuring fellow American rapper Lil Baby, released on April 17, 2018. After the song leaked, Gunna decided to release it due to positive fan and critical reception.[1] The song was written alongside producers Turbo and Ghetto Guitar.
Later in the year, the flow and cadence in the song is interpolated on fellow American rapper Travis Scott's single, "Yosemite", which features Gunna and Canadian rapper Nav.
Composition
The song uses a "booming 808" with guitar loops in a trap beat, and finds the rappers narrating the riches from their successes.[2] In the chorus and first verse, Gunna sings about his luxurious ways ("Addicted to sex, I gotta get laid / My jacket Off-White, don't mean that it's beige / I clean that real nice, I don't got a maid / Ape in the night, I'm still rocking Bape").[3][4] Lil Baby recollects on hanging out with Gunna and his life: "Me and young Gunna back at it again / We just in New York, double datin' with twins / I just bought a Wraith, I retired the Benz / I fired my bitch and I hired her friend".[4]
