Kids are playing outside again with the Gel Blaster
As digital media and the internet have become such integral parts of our lives, the typical child can usually name a long list of their favorite shows and games. For babies born in this decade, exposure to the online world can begin as early as months old. Does screen time even benefit developing minds? Whether kids should be playing on their iPads is still up for debate, but there’s no doubt that old-school outdoor play-especially with friends-is a better choice. It’s the latest in toy technology that will get kids and their families outside and having a blast.
Unlike other toy guns, the Gel Blaster has been designed to be easy to use and comfortable for everyone, including small kids, thanks to the water-based gel pellets. Gellets evaporate as soon as they touch any physical object, so there’s minimal mess-and even the smallest kids can take part pain-free.
After a family vacation, founder Colin Guinn found that many airsoft companies had pushed their rifles into shooting gel balls after the legal ban of airsoft. He loved the product but knew it was too close to guns to bring to market in the US. Still, he loved the kind of eco-friendly, outdoor fun it helped to facilitate among his kids.
Being a tech enthusiast, he had a distinct advantage that allowed him to develop a one-of-a-kind, environment-friendly toy blaster. He is the founder and CEO of Guinn Partners, a consulting firm for autonomous robotics and cutting-edge technologies. The Gel Blaster was built by a team of engineers from Guinn Partners who have worked on drones since the creation of commercial drones in North America. The company thus created a new category of toys.
Different colors and accessories are available for the Gel Blaster, depending on the consumer’s preferences. Featuring customizable colors and accessories, it is changing the way kids play by keeping their heads in the game. Designed to be functional, the Gel Blaster comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts 4–5 hours on a full charge. A safety switch prevents accidents.
Gel Blaster has proven to be a hit with American families who put a priority on outdoor play. “Gel Blaster is displacing Foam Darts, Paintball, & Airsoft as the introductory toy to get people blasting. With no clean-up required, we’re an eco-friendly version of everyone’s favorite childhood play experience. Gel Blaster is brand new as a category. With a million other blasters on the market, we’re looking to be the leaders in high-tech, safe toys that everyone can easily enjoy,” said Cami Croasdale, director of marketing.
Cami further shared that getting the Gel Blaster to be distributed nationwide hasn’t been easy. “We face a lot of opposition from more established brands and companies looking to push down a newer brand and new category. We’re showing what a kickstarter can do in such a short time if you truly believe in your product and your mission,” she said.
The idea began as an idea, but now it’s available nationwide-and in Canada as well. Every Walmart now sells Gel Blasters, making it easier for parents to get their kids outside and have fun.
Going full steam ahead on their mission to get families to play outside again, Gel Blaster is hosting fun-filled events where they give out free Gel Blasters to kids and families in the area. To date, they have given away thousands to people who would otherwise not be able to afford one.
There’s a certain kind of artist you don’t just hear — you feel
The kind that doesn’t need to exaggerate pain, because it’s already written into their voice. The kind that doesn’t chase moments, because they’ve lived enough of them to create their own. That’s where CertifiedStunna exists — somewhere between scars and ambition, between silence and melody.
Before the name, before the sound, there was Austin Scott.
And before the music, there was Utica.
WHERE IT STARTED
Utica isn’t the type of place that waits for you to figure life out slowly. It introduces you to reality early. Pressure, struggle, emotion — all of it comes fast, and it sticks. For Austin, growing up there wasn’t just a phase — it was a foundation.
You learn how to read people. You learn how to move smart. And most importantly, you learn how to feel everything deeply, even when you don’t say it out loud.
That silence eventually needed somewhere to go.
WHEN MUSIC STOPPED BEING JUST MUSIC
At first, it wasn’t about a career. It wasn’t about streams, placements, or attention.
It was survival.
Music became a place to unload everything that couldn’t be explained in conversation. The thoughts you keep to yourself. The weight you carry when nobody’s watching. The nights that feel longer than they should.
That’s when Austin realized something real:
This wasn’t just something he liked.
This was something he needed.
And that’s when CertifiedStunna was born — not as an alias, but as a version of himself that could speak freely.
“Certified” because nothing is fabricated.
“Stunna” because even through it all, there’s elevation — a presence you can’t ignore.
THE SOUND: PAIN WITH PURPOSE
If you listen close, you’ll hear it immediately.
The influence is there — the emotional vulnerability of artists like Juice WRLD, the melodic confidence of Tory Lanez, the relatable storytelling of A Boogie wit da Hoodie — but none of it feels copied.
Because it isn’t.
CertifiedStunna’s sound sits in that space where melody meets truth. It’s introspective, sometimes dark, but never empty. Every record feels like a page torn from real life — not polished for perfection, but left raw on purpose.
His process reflects that.
It starts with a beat…
Then a feeling…
Then a moment.
No overthinking. No forcing it. Just honesty in real time.
LEAVING, BUT NOT FORGETTING
Now based in North Carolina, there’s distance from where it all started — but not detachment.
That shift brought balance.
A clearer mind. A bigger perspective. A chance to move smarter, not just harder.
But Utica is still in the music. Still in the tone. Still in the way certain words hit heavier than others.
You don’t outgrow where you came from — you carry it differently.
THE FIGHT NOBODY SEES
There’s a version of the artist journey people don’t talk about.
No co-signs.
No instant spotlight.
No major hub backing you.
Just you… and belief.
Consistency becomes a battle. Doubt creeps in quietly. Progress feels slow when nobody’s watching.
But that’s where CertifiedStunna built his foundation — in the unseen work.
Staying locked in when it’s quiet.
Trusting the process when it’s unclear.
Creating anyway.
That’s the part that makes it real.
THE TURNING POINT
The biggest moment wasn’t a show.
Wasn’t a placement.
Wasn’t a viral clip.
It was internal.
The realization that music was actually helping him — mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
That changed everything.
It gave the journey purpose.
Because now it wasn’t just about making songs…
It was about making something that could reach someone else the same way.
MORE THAN MUSIC
CertifiedStunna isn’t selling an image.
He’s building connection.
Every record is rooted in something real — pain, growth, reflection, survival. And that honesty creates something a lot of artists spend years chasing:
Trust.
Listeners don’t just hear the music — they relate-to it.
And in a world full of noise, that kind of connection stands out.
WHAT’S NEXT
Right now, it’s about building.
Catalog.
Consistency.
Presence.
New music. Visuals. Expanding reach.
No shortcuts — just stacking moments the right way.
Because this isn’t about a quick run.
It’s about longevity.
THE MESSAGE
At the core of everything, the goal is simple:
Make people feel understood.
If someone hears a song and realizes they’re not alone in what they’re going through — that’s bigger than numbers.
That’s impact.
FINAL WORD
CertifiedStunna is still in the early chapters.
But the foundation is already there — authenticity, discipline, and a story that doesn’t need to be exaggerated to be powerful.
From Utica to North Carolina…
From silence to sound…
From survival to expression…
This isn’t just music.
This is real life — translated into something you can feel.
And this is only the beginning.

“Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre & “Tough Love” Feat. Merkules — Dual Diagnosis Delivers Raw Emotion and Powerful Visual Storytelling
Lost Soul Productions LLC announces the release of two gripping new singles from Dual Diagnosis: “Wake Up” featuring Bizarre (April 17, 2026) and “Tough Love” featuring Merkules (April 24, 2026). Together, these records highlight an artist committed to raw storytelling, striking visuals, and unfiltered expression.
Dual Diagnosis is quickly building a reputation for delivering music that cuts deeper than surface-level themes. His sound blends heavy emotion, dark undertones, and reflective lyricism, creating records that resonate with listeners facing real-life struggles. Rather than following mainstream formulas, he leans into authenticity—turning personal conflict and growth into compelling art.
To amplify that vision, Dual Diagnosis connects with two powerful voices in hip-hop. Bizarre brings his legendary shock value and fearless approach, while Merkules adds a grounded, emotional intensity that has made him a standout in modern rap. These collaborations help shape two tracks that feel both distinct and connected.
“Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre — April 17, 2026
“Wake Up” delivers a hard-hitting message centered on realization and urgency. The track challenges listeners to confront truth, break illusions, and become aware of what’s really happening around them. With sharp lyricism and a dark atmosphere, the record sets an intense tone from start to finish.
The artwork reinforces this concept with a disturbing yet symbolic image: a warped clock fused with a human eye, bleeding and surrounded by chaos. It represents time slipping away and the moment when awareness can no longer be avoided. The visual and the music work hand-in-hand, pulling the audience into a tense and thought-provoking experience.
“Tough Love” Feat. Merkules — April 24, 2026
Following that awakening, “Tough Love” shifts into the reality of endurance. This track explores pain, lessons learned, and the strength it takes to keep going. Dual Diagnosis and Merkules deliver emotionally driven verses that speak to resilience and survival.
The cover art features a rugged, mechanical heart glowing beneath a worn exterior. Set against an industrial backdrop, it symbolizes damage, pressure, and the ability to keep moving forward despite it all. It’s a powerful visual metaphor for the track’s core message—growth often comes through struggle.
A Unified Message
While each release stands strong on its own, together they tell a larger story:
- “Wake Up” captures the moment of awareness
- “Tough Love” represents the aftermath—learning to live with that truth
This dual rollout showcases Dual Diagnosis not just as a recording artist, but as a creator with a clear vision—blending music and imagery into a cohesive narrative.
Release Dates
- April 17, 2026 — “Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre
- April 24, 2026 — “Tough Love” Feat. Merkules
