We’re a little late bringing the news about this but some peeps may not have caught wind of Diplo’s “Free Gucci” remix album. Gotta respect Diplo for really spreading out and absorbing so many musical cultures (more on that in the next few weeks). It was really hard to find the best track off the album because pretty much 90% of it is So Icey. It was out of both remixes of “Excuse Me”, this track we’re posting, and DZ’s remix of “I Be Everywhere”.
So.. why the title you ask? This is from the Gucci Mane Wiki page:
In April 2001, Davis was arrested on cocaine charges and sentenced to 90 days in jail. On May 10, 2005, Davis was attacked by a group of men at a house in Decatur. Davis’ companions shot at the group, killing at least one. The corpse of one of the attackers, Henry Lee Clark III, was found later behind a nearby middle school. Davis turned himself in to police investigators on May 19, 2005 and was subsequently charged with murder. Davis claimed that the shots fired by his party were in self-defense The DeKalb County district attorney’s office dropped the murder charge in January 2006 due to insufficient evidence. The previous October, in an unrelated matter, Davis had pleaded no contest to a charge of assault for assaulting a nightclub promoter the previous June; at the time the murder charge was dropped, he was serving a six-month prison sentence for this. Davis was released from jail in late January 2006.
In September 2008, Gucci Mane was arrested for parole violation for completing only 25 out of 600 community service hours following his 2005 arrest for assault. He was sentenced to a year in jail but was released after six months. On November 12, 2009, Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in prison for violating probation. He is currently incarcerated in Fulton County jail.
