Gucci Mane has announced today’s release of his hugely anticipated new album. “EVERYBODY LOOKING” – the iconic rapper’s first studio album in half a decade – is available now in stores, and all DPS and streaming services. “EVERYBODY LOOKING” was recorded in Atlanta over six days immediately following Gucci’s early release from prison last May. Due to an overwhelming response from his fans on the release of “1st Day Out Tha Feds,” Gucci decided to surprise supporters with a brand new album he recorded while on home confinement. The album is produced by Mike WiLL Made-It (Future, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign) and Zaytoven (Usher, Nicki Minaj), with additional production from Murda Beatz (Migos, Young Thug), Marz & Swae Lee (Rae Sremmurd, Beyoncé), Pluss (Beyoncé, Rae Sremmurd), Will A Fool (Future, Drake), and multiple GRAMMY® Award nominee Christopher “Drumma Boy” Gholson.
Among the countless highlights of “EVERYBODY LOOKING” is the
new track, “Guwop Home (Feat. Young Thug),” available now at all DSPs and
streaming services. The track is joined by a colourful companion video,
streaming now at Gucci’s official YouTube channel. “Guwop Home (Feat. Young Thug)” received a
slew of attention upon its release earlier this month, including notice from
Pitchfork, MTV News, and Rolling Stone, which praised the track’s video for
“(boasting) an overload of bikinis, producer Mike WiLL Made-It jamming out on
his MPC poolside, stacks of cash and a scantily clad night soccer game, all to
commemorate the release of the Trap God.”
In support of Gucci Mane’s highly anticipated release,
Spotify and the legendary rapper have joined forces to build a one-of-a-kind
multi-platform marketing campaign around the launch. Spotify and Gucci are
giving hip-hop fans unprecedented access to exclusive video content that gives
them an inside look into his life and the making of "EVERYBODY LOOKING."
“I’ve had the concept for this album in my mind for years,” Gucci states. “The
reception from my fans has been so overwhelming, that I knew I had to do
something different for this release. I
did not want to roll out this project the traditional way. I wanted to partner with Spotify to do
something innovative and groundbreaking.”
Widely ranked among the most gifted rappers of his
generation, Gucci has been incredibly productive since his long incarceration;
this highlighted in a major profile piece in the New York Times to run in this
upcoming Sunday’s paper. Some of Gucci’s major moves since release include
performing at a sold out “Welcome Home Party” at Atlanta’s Mansion Elan,
appearing in a recent promo video for SUPREME, and contributing to the blockbuster new single,
“Champions,” performed by Kanye West, Gucci Mane, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Travis
Scott, Yo Gotti, Quavo & Desiigner; and announcing his new Delantic
clothing line, with complete details to be revealed soon. As if that weren’t
enough, 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).”
