Bio
The year 2005 was like yin and yang for Atlanta bling rapper Gucci Mane. He enjoyed success entering the charts with his first national hit, "Icy," became involved in a quarrel with that song's collaborator, Young Jeezy, and found himself facing murder charges in the Georgia courts. Before his career as a rapper, Gucci Mane, whose birth name is Radric Davis, loved to write poetry when he was in elementary school. He moved to Atlanta from Birmingham, AL with his single mother during the fourth grade. Since progressing to rap was a fairly easy step, Gucci Mane had already spent time in a recording studio by the age of 14. The glamour and sense of fashion of rappers like Big Daddy Kane motivated him to put words to music. His locally played debut single, "Black Tee," earned him a contract with Big Cat Records, and in May 2005 the label released his debut album, Trap House, which stood at the number one spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
The beef with Young Jeezy originated from a fight over the rights to the album's "Icy" hit single, which spawned a number of dis tracks traded between the two. Within the same month of his LP's release, Gucci Mane was arrested for murder following an altercation in which he shot at a group of five men who burst into his friend's house, threatening to kill the rapper. As it turned out, the murdered attacker was an associate of Young Jeezy, who denied any involvement with the incident. Gucci Mane declared in court that it was self-defense, and by January 2006, Georgia prosecutors dropped all charges, citing lack of evidence.
After being released from jail (on charges unrelated to the murder) that same month, he quickly went back into the studio to make his second album, Hard to Kill, which was released in October. He took the song "Go Head" from his first album and made it the lead single for the second in order to make up for the time taken away from promoting Trap House. The State vs. Radric Davis, his second official album, was released in December 2009 following a dizzying array of mixtapes. The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted followed in 2010 with guest shots from Estelle, Nicki Minaj, and Wyclef. Featuring the single âMouth Full of Goldâ with special guest Birdman, the âstreet albumâ The Return of Mr. Zone 6 followed in 2011.
Album Review
An artist-certified street album -- a release somewhere between a mixtape and an official album, The Return of Mr. Zone 6 is slapped together and doesnât care much for crossing over. Those are both reasons your everyday fan should be cautious, but theyâre also the reasons fans of Gucciâs gutter music will be pleased and downright thrilled in parts. With Birdman on the cut, âMouth Full of Goldsâ is the thug anthem of choice, and with no less than three Waka Flocka guest shots included, party people get to âgo dumbâ with a vengeance, which is a good thing. âI Donât Love Herâ (but âI love things about herâ) keeps the golden-age idea of thug romance in check, but when the slow creeper âPancakesâ rolls around, offering a breakfast food as a victory metaphor, itâs something new, wacky, and entirely Gucci. This shouldnât be a surprise as the man did get a facial tattoo of an ice cream cone, and if you havenât acquired the taste for his lazy and crazy style after listening to his official releases, this hard set of lowbrow ballinâ wonât help. Anyone who arrived here because of underground mixtapes will be happy to hear the radio-friendly numbers and polish removed, and even happier when they notice Southern street producer Drumma Boy is responsible for all the beats.
