Gucci Mane's 'The State vs. Radric Davis' is officially the no.1 Rap album in the
country !
Moving 89,000 copies in its first week, "The State vs. Radric Davis" also debuted at no.10 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart.
The
album features Gucci's first single "Wasted" feat. Plies, a #1 song at
urban mainstream radio, and the crossover smash "Spotlight" feat.
Usher. Amongst the album's cameos is a who's-who of urban music with
guest spots from Lil Wayne, Keyshia Cole, Soulja Boy, Rick Ross, Trina,
Cam'ron, Nicki Minaj, E-40 and laugh out loud skits with comedian, Mike
Epps.
Even those outside of the hip-hop Diaspora have begun to
take notice of Gucci Mane's rising profile. His work has caught the
attention of the larger musical community including revered DJ/producer
Diplo who recently announced a project where he will remix Gucci's
acclaimed Cold War mixtape series to a backdrop of eclectic
soundscapes.
The New York Times chimes in on the recent
phenomena: "[Gucci Mane] has been the most prolific rapper in Atlanta
over the last two years, the most hotly discussed, and also the most
improved. In the last few months he's had the swiftest ascent to
hip-hop ubiquity since Lil Wayne."
