GUCCI MANE DROPS 4 hours-long, 80-SONG ALBUM

Gucci Mane is ending the year on a high note by releasing a brand-new album with an almost four-hour length.

The massive new CD, So Icy Boyz: The Finale, is a 1017 compilation that was created by Zaytoven and has an incredible 80 songs.

Lil Baby, Jeremih, Trey Songz, 2 Chainz, Offset, Quavo, and OJ Da Juiceman all make cameos on the album. The artists on the 1017 roster, such as KATO2x, Li Rye, Mac Critter, Sett, and TLE Cinco, also contribute.

Gucci revealed the album’s upcoming release on Tuesday (December 6) in a one-sentence message uploaded to Twitter. He wrote, “Wop and Zaytoven Friday!”

Recently, Gucci Mane has started reaching deeper into his music industry wallet. Recently, he made the $1 million contract offer to sign former Cash Money Records rapper B.G. to 1017.

Gucci sent a now-deleted tweet congratulating the imprisoned New Orleans rapper and stating what he was willing to give him, thinking that B.G. had already been released.

“My 1017 family help me welcome home the living legend @BGHollyHood !” he wrote next to a photo of B.G. behind bars. “Glad u home bruh! Got so much love and respect for u as a man and artist! Get at me, I got a milli for u! Wanna sign u to 1017!!!!! #1017Mafia [money bag emojis].”

Gucci, an Alabama native, presented TLE Cinco with an iced-out diamond chain in front of his grandfather’s house to commemorate the signing of the contract.

“I just signed the hardest youngin in Alabama welcome @truckload_cinco to the 1017 family,” Gucci wrote in the caption. “This signing was personal since he from my hometown Bessemer Alabama I had to stop by my granddaddy house the original 1017 for inspiration! #1017Mafia.”

Compared to Baby Racks, who was fired from the label the day after signing his contract, TLE Cinco’s signing has gone much smoother. Gucci terminated Baby Racks’ contract because he disparaged Houston, Texas, the place where Migos rapper TakeOff was tragically shot and died.

“I’m definitely not fw houston after that DONT BOOK ME CAUSE BABY RACKS AINT COMING,” Racks tweeted following TakeOff’s death.
Gucci wasn’t feeling Baby Rack’s report and revealed that he dropped the up-and-coming rapper from his mark. “Congratulations to @Babyracks1017 first artist to get signed and dropped in a day that dude is not signed to 1017,” Gucci wrote in a tweet that is now been deleted.
