The album will be Gucci Mane’s fifth release since signing with Warner Bros. Records in 2009, and his first since his arrest earlier this year. Gucci Mane released The Return of Mr. Zone 6 in March of 2011 as a re-introduction to the music so popular amongst his most ardent of fans.
Ferrari Boyz is the second official release from Waka Flocka Flame. Last October, the rapper released his debut album Flockaveli, dubbed as “the most anarchic rap album of 2010†by the Washington Post. Led by the #1 single “No Hands†featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash, Flockaveli debuted at #6 and was both praised and criticized for its abandonment of lyrical prose for menacing, adrenaline-fused production. The New York Times cited Flockaveli as “one of the most bracing and unforgiving hip-hop releases in recent memory. Almost single-handedly, and without context, it rediscovers hip-hop’s pugnacity in an era of extreme melodic sophistication, an idiosyncratic anomaly.â€
