Bio
Its said that art mirrors life. In hip-hops case, theres always been a deliberate entanglement of perception and reality. Fans demand their MCs be real but never too real. Successful hip-hop is about the hint of the danger, the tease of it, the mystique. Hip-hop is about balance. MillionHEIR Entertainment wants to bring FANS what they have all been waiting for, GUCCI MANE this Summer 2008!
Gucci Mane is an artist striving for that balance, volatility versus musicality. Controversy, including a feud with former collaborator Young Jeezy, has grabbed the headlines, with insufficient regard paid to his considerable mic skills, raw talent, and business acumen. Gucci is looking to wrest his name from public speculation and let his own words do the talking.
Good music firmly in hand, Gucci was fast approaching stardom when more tragedy befell him. But lets backtrack; how did the man born Radric Davis in Bessemer, Alabama, become Gucci Mane, mouthpiece for Atlanta stuntin? Mane remembers little from his time in Alabama, just that it was rural, and that its changed dramatically since he left at the age of nine. "I gotta shout out Alabama though, because they holdin it down," he affirms. "Every time I go there to do a show, Im impressed with how hip-hop culture has taken root."
Manes identity coalesced when he moved with his mother to Atlanta. "I lived all of my adolescent and adult life in Atlanta,"he explains. "Im from East Atlanta Zone Six; it was hard, man, it was real rough. I grew up in the Starter jacket era: theyd take your Starter jacket, your 8Ball jacket, theyd take your hat, your shoes. It was just no holds barred on the streets, dog eat dog. If you missed the bus, you had to be crewed up or youd get jumped. It was wild when I came up."
Its a bleak portrait. When asked to describe his home life more vividly, Mane offers a look into his contemplative side, a side honed as a schoolyard poet. "I was just a young dude in a single parent house most of my life. I cant complain that much. I would guess its like any black child growing up in a single parent household. There are a lot of people who know how that is. I didnt have a lot coming up; but what I did have, I appreciated. I was blessed to have a caring mother to raise me right and to help me with my business ventures; shes been there through the whole struggle. Theres a lot that goes along with that; it made me who I am today."
Asylum/Atlantic Records welcomed Gucci Mane in early 07, granting him his own imprint, So Icey Entertainment. With it comes an entire stable of artists, the So Icey Boyz. As the Boyz ready for their own exposure I got them in training; they be in the weight room, pumping iron, doing pushups, shopping at the mall, buying iceGucci is focused on his magnum opus, Back to the Trap House. I started working on the album, and by the third song, I was like This is going back to the Trap House. I started feeling the same way I did when I made my first album. It had the same feel to it, the same freshness. And I had the same hunger and desire I had when I first started rapping.
Fortunately for Gucci, he should be prepared to welcome an army of new fans with Back to the Trap House. But longstanding fans shouldnt fear; theyll recognize Freaky Gurl, reprised from its previous appearance from Hard To Kill. Luda, upon hearing the joint, asked for a guest spot on the remix. Said remix now appears as the lead single on Back to the Trap House, following in Guccis theme of mating old and new. Over a bouncing, meandering beat from Cyber Sapp, the two cook up the requisite concoction of whips, chips, and chicks. Also look out for Bird Flu, the albums number two single, laced by New-York based Supa Sonics. Elsewhere, firm guest verses from Rich Boy and Pimp C of UGK round out Guccis regional flavor, while Bay-area producer Zaytoven (of Icy renown) locks down Guccis West Coast appeal. Gucci Mane has something for everyone, and with the struggles of the past in his rearview, Gucci is settled in for his ride to the top. Im best known for controversy but Im trying to gain respect as a songwriter and entertainer. I plan to hit them so hard with this album; who knows what the future will bring. Ill be banging them out till I cant bang no more.
