Gucci Mane

While most top 40 listeners would know Gucci Mane from his widely successful “Black Beatles,” which was his first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, he’s been an active player in the music scene since he first collaborated with Young Jeezy a dozen years ago. Even serving time didn’t stop him from continuing to release new material. In fact, during his three-year incarceration for violating federal drug and gun laws, Gucci Mane had 18 releases, all of which met applause from fans and critics. He’s slated to be joined by fellow rappers Playboi Carti and Dreezy both of whom are on their way to being as successful as Gucci Mane.
