Everybody Looking. An album title fitting of an artist who has been the center of attention since his release from prison.
On May 20, Gucci Mane was finally set free after serving two years behind bars and his entry back into civilization sent shockwaves across social media. It felt like a dream, after being away for what seemed like a decade, one of Atlanta’s most prolific rappers appeared like some rare Pokemon. His appearance was slimmer, the legendary lean gut had been replaced by a six pack. “First Day Out The Feds,” the first official Gucci release since his incarceration, had a sound that was sharper, focused, and even clearer than before. It was as if a new man walked out of prison, such an obvious difference between who he was and the man that now stood before the world. That's how the rumors of Gucci being a clone started. Everybody was looking, everybody was listening, the return of Gucci Mane was an event but the release of Everybody Looking could potentially be an even bigger one.
A classic hip-hop album, that’s how Mike Will described the album to Complex. This isn’t the first time a producer has described an artist's album he’s working on as such. It builds hype, gets people talking, but Gucci isn’t in a position where press is necessary. I believe that Mike Will is sincere, that he sees something special in this album. Gucci’s engineer, Sean Paine, echoed Will's sentiments calling the album the realist one that he’s ever done. This is a man who has mixed over 30 Gucci albums and a countless number of songs, it’s safe to consider him an expert on all things Guwop.
Gucci returned to writing his raps, he’s eating healthier, he stopped doing drugs, and seems to be cleansed in a spiritual sense. The Trap God has never seemed so holy, and there’s a chance all the changes in his life could bring the album of his career. Everybody Looking isn’t just a comeback project, but a moment of redemption for a man who reached the status of a myth while simultaneously almost ruining his entire life and career. This is his true second chance at being a rap star.
Impressively, he recorded the album, the music videos, and even the Supreme teaser all under house arrest. A very nice house. His work-a-holic nature hasn’t slowed down because of the beeper attached to his leg. Just imagine what will happen once he’s free to roam as he pleases. The Gucci clones will truly be in trouble then. The Return Of Mr. Zone 6 was the title of Gucci’s last studio album that was released in 2011. It’s been five years since Gucci had a true commercial release. This isn’t some free mixtape of songs that was pre-recorded and stashed away for years. The 14 track that make up this album will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the Book of Gucci.
