I was asked to do a great deal of soul searching.
These past six months have been a difficult time, but fortunately, I have learned a great deal from my experiences. Those mistakes have brought me to where I’m at today. I have made some mistakes in my life and I’ve hurt a lot of people who care about me.
Your letters and words of encouragement helped me make it through, and all of my success wouldn’t be possible without you. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my fans for all their support while I was away. Records for sticking with me through my situation and helping me through my time behind bars.
#WHAT GUCCI MANE ALBUMS SHOULD I LISTEN TO FULL#
Not featured here, notably, is the loosie Gucci released earlier this month boasting the biggest feature to date: 2pac.Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane finally saw freedom early Wednesday morning (May 12), and walked out of the Fulton County jail to be greeted by friends, peers and a host of media cameras.Īfter a few embraces, including dapping fellow Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo, Gucci pulled a sheet of paper from his pocket and announced that he had a prepared statement to read, and told cameras to listen.īelow is his full statement just as he walked out of jail, after serving six months of a one year jail sentence for a parole violation.įirst and foremost, I’d like to thank my legal council, Dwight Thomas and Michael Holmes, for the excellent representation, as well as my label Asylum and Warner Bros. But as he says, he has a great deal to get off his chest. The lack of features bodes well, as some of Gucci’s projects of the ‘10s have been weighed down by too many features for padding. It boasts just one auspicious feature: another Kanye-supported track. You won’t find Everybody Looking - his first major-label release since 2010’s The Appeal: Georgia’s Most Wanted - up on iTunes yet for preorder, but the track listing has been leaked. Many of them, like Future, Thug, and Metro, have become legitimate superstars since Gucci was out, and their heightened profile can’t do anything but help Gucci’s re-ascension. It’s the fact that big names and all his finest collaborators (and he’s had many over the years, from Drumma Boy to Future to Metro Boomin) are all excited to work with him again. It’s not just the subject matter - the inspiration he got from his time inside. The video shows Zay, Mike Will, Guwop and one of his most successful protégés Young Thug in the midst of a pool party/recording session.Īnd indeed, the post-jail music of the newly fit, de-grilled and bearded Gucci suggests a vitality that’s missing from a lot of the music he released just before and during his stint in Indiana. “Guwop Home,” another strong post-prison release with a celebratory video to match, finds Zay collaborating with one of Gucci’s other most important collaborators, ATL-trap-stape-cum- Miley-Cyrus-collaborator Mike Will Made-It. With a Zaytoven beat boasts ominous synth bursts that could have come off a Gucci mixtape track from the late ‘00s, it feels like an inspired exploration of the DNA of the now-veteran producer’s chemistry with the rapper.
The song, like several of the other tracks Gucci’s d since being released just seven weeks ago, seems to incorporate elements of his past styles. He then calls out all of the powers that kept him from saying it for almost three years, when he - one of the most influential rappers ever to emerge from the city of Atlanta - was locked up in a federal penitentiary in Indiana. “I can’t even sleep, I got so much to say,” begins the intro track from Gucci Mane’s upcoming album, Everybody Looking, due out this Friday.
