There is no denying that Gucci Mane is one of the best artists to come from Atlanta, Georgia. He has put out over five different albums in the past decade and is working on more projects. Unfortunately, he has had to serve jail time for the past couple years. He failed to do community service for an earlier sentence and this landed him in a lot of trouble.
Gucci also violated his probationary terms, which did not bode well for him in the courtroom. Despite the fact that he cannot record music in jail, he is still coming up with new material and new verses. In fact, one of his producers makes phone calls to Gucci Mane whenever he can to talk about new music. According to his producers, he is still busy at work and is working hard to perfect his craft.
As the years have passed since he first began recording music, he really stepped his lyrical game up. Most people thought that he was one of the worst artists to hear lyrically after the song “Icy” was released in the early years of his career. Now, most people are able to recognize the fact that he is great with rhymes.
People from Atlanta think that he is the best artist in hip hop at the moment. A new special edition disc called “My Name Is Mr. Davis” was put out on iTunes and got millions of downloads. Many fans thought that he could have sold ten times platinum if he would have been freed from his jail cell. Most critics argue that he would have gotten more downloads because he could have been free to perform it for his fans at concerts.
Even though he makes music for the streets of East Atlanta, he tries to make some hits for the clubs as well. His goal is to stay diversified and make stuff that everyone can enjoy. Not only has he come out with good albums, but his mixtapes have been great as well. One of his tapes in particular, called “Guccimerica” went on to exceed thirty thousand digital downloads.
The reason that people love his mixed tapes so much is because they can be listened to anywhere online. Chances are good that if you like his tracks, then there are some that you cannot afford to go a day without hearing. What’s in store for him in the future is getting out of his jail cell and coming out with a new project. This project will have a fourth quarter release date, but may get pushed back to 2011. Get excited for more music from his So Icy Entertainment label as well, because the artists on there are very talented as well.
