Atlanta-based rapper Gucci Mane is looking to return home from county jail sometime this coming weekend after serving close to six months for a probation violation.
Gucci’s own imprint So Icey Records and management company Mizay Entertainment are preparing a “Welcome Home Weekend” bash at Metronome Studios where they will record a mixtape to celebrate. Sponsored by eModa.com, the party will include various ATL all-stars like Gucci affiliates OJ Da Juice Man and Nicki Minaj. DJ Holiday is on board to host the disc.
“What better way to come home than to connect with friends and colleagues you haven’t seen in a while, by going into the lab and recording all of the hits you’ve come up with while you’re away,” Portia Kirkland, vice president of Marketing for Mizay/So Icey said in a statement. “Having great talent all in one room without the pen and the paper in the booth will make for a great homecoming and we’ll make sure Hood Affair Films will be there to capture it all.”
It is uncertain what day the rapper will be actually released from behind bars, but it is believed to be anytime between Friday, March 13th and Sunday March 15th.
As XXLMag.com previously reported, Gucci was sent to Fulton County Jail on September 12, 2008 for only completing 25 hours of a mandated 600 hours of community service stemming from a prior assault charge. A judge originally sentenced him to one year in prison for the violation along with two and a half years on probation and 600 more hours of community service. – Elan Mancini

after hearing the Make the trap say aye remix feat Camron, I WAS THINKING THAT KILLA SHOULD (AFTER GETTING THE DIPLOMATS BACK TOGETHER) MAKE GUCCI AN AFFILIATE OR AT LEAST COLLABORATE MORE. the diplomats would go well with gucci on tracks and make both camps more popular. then again gucci beefed with wayne and hes pretty close with the dips so that probably wouldnt help. either way gucci has some of the best and most consistent mixtapes out. cant wait to hear the new one.

I like N.Y. style hip hop and I can see that Gucci’s going to be a problem. I like his “745″ joint. Plus being locked up he blew up the radio with “Gucci Bandana” “Stoopid” and his collabo. That was being locked up. So tuck yr chains niggas…Get off Jezzy nuts and get ready for a jail seen trap star.
U got is wrong Joe P, don’t sleep this nigga got the streets and the hood is not bumping “Crack a Bottle” like that. The hoods bumping “Bird Walk” and Ricky Ross.
Oh yea good call Barry Washinton Killa is hooking up with this fool…so Gucci is getting that N.Y. money. don’t sleep and miss out on some hot hip hop that you’ll be checking for in the years to come. Roll with the tide and you’ll stay current…

Man I hate to say it…
But Gucci is that nigga man…
He don’t rap the best, but the nigga got character…a real character…not some ole made for T.V. shit.
I like seein real niggas win like that who come from the bottom and who are successful.
Other than that…his music has no real moral value. He makes me laugh though and that’s good entertainment none the less.
