As Jay Z once famously said, "Another Day, Another Dollar." One could write a similar lyric for Gucci Mane projects. Though Guwop is still behind bars for another two years, his music is still being liberated by collaborators and producers, including the new track "Cartel Talk," ahead of Brick Factory 3 and Trap House 5. His former roommate, DC producer Roger Beat, has taken upon himself to shine the light back on Radric Davis as he goes through one of the darkest moments of his life.
"Cartel Talk" is what you would expect from a new Gucci project as he comes in hot and heavy with bombastic rhymes delivered with his thick Southern drawl over a emphatic bed of 808s. He name-drops all sorts of influential people like Kimbo Slice and Tony Hawk, saying, "I'm fresh as hell, skate gear, Tony Hawk." He turns to the legendary No. 23, Michael Jordan, spitting, "I am balling, make you fade away like Michael Jordan."
Life behind bars does not appear to be so bad for Gucci. He is getting boxing lessons in jail and is allowed to get it on camera. He is also sporting a nice gut, which seems like it could be tough to do on standard prison food.
He continues to release tons of free music. Gucci tried to get some good karma this past Christmas when he released not one, but two full-length mixtapes for his fans. The amount of music that Gucci has lying around unreleased is astronomical and the projects are not going to stop anytime soon.
Brick Factory 3 is expected to be released Feb. 1, and then his album Trap House 5 will follow soon after that Feb. 12.
