Gucci will mark the arrival of “EVERYBODY LOOKING” with “Gucci &
Friends,” his first full-scale live performance since his release,
slated for July 22nd at Atlanta, GA’s world renowned Fox
Theatre. The star-studded concert extravaganza will see the Trap God
joined by an array of surprise special guests. For more information and
ticket availability, please see foxtheatre.org/shows-and-events.
Over the last few weeks, Gucci Mane has been lighting up the internet
with surprise visits from Drake and Young Thug while on house arrest,
documented via his snapchat (@guwopsnap) and Instagram (@laflare1017).
In addition, Gucci recently took the stage at his sold out “Welcome
Home Party” at Atlanta’s Mansion Elan. The event – which received
extensive national media coverage – was highlighted by live takes on
such recent tracks as “First Day Out Tha Feds” alongside classic cuts
like “Lemonade,” “Wasted,” and of course, “First Day Out.”
“First Day Out Tha Feds” is available now: http://smarturl.it/gm1dutfpr Produced
by frequent collaborator Mike WiLL Made-It (Future, Wiz Khalifa, Ty
Dolla $ign), the track proved an immediate smash, earning close to 1
million SoundCloud plays within the first 12 hours of its May 27th release.
“First Day Out Tha Feds” has also drawn unanimous critical acclaim, with Pitchfork
naming it as “Best New Track,” praising Gucci’s “love of language, his
onomatopoeic ad-libs, (and) his ability to channel joy.” “Gucci proves
he’s still the wordsmith fans fell in love with during the ‘Lemonade’
era,” raved Entertainment Weekly, while Hot New Hip Hop
noted, “His unique charisma is as strong as its ever been, and it
sounds like he's just getting started.” “First Day Out Tha Feds” “finds
Gucci in a vengeful, score-settling mode,” declared Stereogum. “It’s a great song, and it’s going to put a whole lot of people on notice.”
“Back On Road (Feat. Drake)” followed a week later, heralded by a
world premiere via Drake’s OVO Sound Radio, broadcasting live on Apple
Music’s Beats 1 Radio. As if that weren’t enough, Gucci is among the
superstars contributing to the blockbuster new single, “Champions,”
performed by Kanye West, Gucci Mane, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott,
Yo Gotti, Quavo & Desiigner.
Gucci was further greeted upon release with news of three new RIAA
gold sales certifications for his classic 2009 album, “THE STATE VS.
RADRIC DAVIS’ and its two hit singles, “Wasted” and “Spotlight (Feat.
Usher).”
Widely ranked among the most gifted rappers of his generation, Gucci
has been incredibly productive despite his long incarceration,
unleashing a string of mixtapes including April’s 36-track “MEAL TICKET.”
Recent weeks have seen him return to the recording studio alongside
producers including longtime collaborators, GRAMMY® Award-winner
Zaytoven (Usher, Nicki Minaj), and Mike WiLL Made-It (Future, Wiz
Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign), while also announcing his new Delantic clothing
line, with complete details to be revealed soon.
