The full-length album is the first from Gucci since his early release from prison in May and his confidence around the project has been sky-high. He called it “Album Of The Year” on Instagram recently, and collaborator Mike WiLL Made-It echoed the praise, describing it as the best he’s heard since 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin.
Gucci’s been generous with verses ahead of the official release, starting with “First Day Out Tha Feds” just after gaining his freedom and then following it up with “Waybach,” “Back On Road,” “No Sleep,” “Pussy Print,” and a slew of guest appearances for the likes of Kanye West and Migos.
The July 22 release will feature Gucci’s leadoff singles “1st Day Out Tha Feds” and “All My Children” as well as guest spots from Kanye West and Young Thug, according to a tracklist posted on Amazon. [UPDATE: The tracklist has now been scrubbed from the post.] Also listed is Gucci’s “Back On Road,” a song that featured a collaboration with Drake when it was first released, although the 6ix God isn’t explicitly named in the credits of the new album.
Production on the album, which was recorded over a six-day period shortly after Gucci’s release from prison, comes courtesy of Mike WiLL Made-It, Zaytoven and Drumma Boy.
Gucci is also scheduled to play his first major show since becoming a free man on July 22, at Fox Theatre in Atlanta. He is billed to perform with some surprise guests, and with the company he’s been keeping lately, it’s safe to expect an all-star cast.
