Mini bio
How it started.
Before the records, there were poems. Gucci told AllHipHop that a Mother’s Day poem he wrote in first grade won a contest in Alabama. He kept playing with words, then found his way to rap. In 2005, “Icy” and his debut album Trap House introduced his voice to a wider audience.
Building a scene.
His music became part of the foundation of Atlanta trap. He also built a home for collaborators through 1017 Brick Squad. In a 2013 FADER interview, he described the Brick Factory as a place where he, Young Thug, Peewee Longway and Young Scooter could record and work alongside producers.
Songs fans return to.
The State vs. Radric Davis brought “Lemonade” in 2009. His feature on Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” gave him his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 in 2016. Mr. Davis followed in 2017 with “I Get the Bag” featuring Migos and “Curve” featuring The Weeknd.
Putting life on the page.
He began writing his autobiography while in federal prison, and returned home in 2016. The Autobiography of Gucci Mane became a New York Times bestseller. In 2025, he and Kathy Iandoli published Episodes, opening up further about addiction, mental health and recovery. An album of the same name accompanied the book.
