Gucci Mane

Atlanta rapper and New 1017 label head Gucci Mane is a trap pioneer who kicked off his storied career with a prolific run of albums and mixtapes before a prison sentence proved a crucial turning point in his narrative. While incarcerated, he continued to feed fans, issuing over two dozen mixtapes; he emerged a respected genre icon and steered his life in a more positive direction. Continuing his busy recording schedule, he released over a dozen sets in just a few years, including post-prison career highlights Everybody Looking (2016), Mr. Davis (2017), and Woptober II (2019), which were all Top Ten hits on the album charts. In the early 2020s, the mogul released his 15th (Ice Daddy) and 16th (Breath of Fresh Air) solo efforts, as well as the New 1017 collaborations So Icy Boyz, So Icy Gang: The ReUp, and So Icy Boyz 22.
