News: Gucci Mane's Growth Has Made Him Hard To Kill
After the success of the single, "Icy," in 2005, Gucci Mane is determined to come back hard. This time around he is Hard To Kill, playing off the highly publicized drama the rapper's been through -- his murder trial and beef with Young Jeezy.
According to the rapper's record label, Big Cat Records, the new album shows Gucci Mane's growth over the past year.
"With all that Gucci Mane has seen and been through in this past year, this album shows how much he has grown lyrically," said Big Cat Records' President, Mel Breeden. "We named the project Hard To Kill because of all of the drama that has surrounded Gucci's career and he pulled through it all. Now he's back. HARD TO KILL!!! Although we had big success with 'Icy,' there is a lot more to the story now."
On the new album, Gucci invites fans into his life like a reality show, up close and personal. The rapper takes you down the road of experiences including his time on lockdown, how he pulled through it and the issues that still plague him today.
The album features collaborations from Gucci's label mates Black Magic and Young Snead, while most of the production was handled by various up-and-coming producers.
Gucci's hit single, "Icy," enjoyed heavy rotation globally during its run, helping fuel sales of his debut, Trap House. The album debuted at #5 on the Billboard Charts for Independent Albums and remained in the Top 20 for eight weeks.
Hard To Kill is slated for release October 10, through Big Cat/Tommy Boy Entertainment. www.ballerstatus.net |
