Since coming out of the other side of a prison bid during the prime years of his career in 2014, Gucci Mane has more than made up for lost time, building his brand into a growing empire. Already regarded as one of rap's more prolific artists prior to his incarceration, Gucci Mane has only strengthened that reputation with a consistent stream of releases (six projects in the past three years). However, after remaining omnipresent throughout 2016 and 2017, Gucci Mane took his foot off the pedal for much of 2018, finally coming out of hibernation with the long-hyped Evil Genius, the Atlanta trap star's latest body of work.

The follow-up to El Gato: The Human Glacier, Evil Genius finds Guwop at the top of his game, turning in a project that plays to his strengths (see the pompous "Father's Day) while occasionally drawing him out of his comfort zone. The album includes guest appearances from a few of the biggest young stars out of the South, with 21 Savage, Kevin Gates, Lil Pump, Lil Skies, Lil Yachty, Migos, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again all contributing to the proceedings. With production from the likes of Metro Boomin, Murda Beatz, OG Parker, DJ Durel, Dun Deal, EarlThePearll, Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Quavo, Quay Global, Smash David, Sool Got Hits, Southside and other boardsman, Evil Genius packs enough heat to keep it heavy rotation for the foreseeable future.

In light of Gucci Mane's grand return, XXL highlights 20 of the best lyrics on Evil Genius.
