Gucci Mane will be unveiling his life story on Sept. 19 with his upcoming book The Autobiography of Gucci Mane. Building up the anticipation, Gucci Mane revealed the cover of the book on Instagram, stating,
“Are y’all ready for my book? Trapper turned author #TrapGod#TheAutobiographyOfGuccimane. Now avail for pre-order on amazon !!!”
Co-written with Neil Martinez-Belkin and published by Simon & Schuster, Gucci spoke to CR Men’s Book about his memoir, saying,
“When I was locked up and they put me in the hole, this is what I was doing to keep my sanity. This is how I was protecting myself.”
Simon & Schuster described the book, stating,
“For the first time Gucci Mane tells his story in his own words. It is the captivating life of an artist who forged an unlikely path to stardom and personal rebirth. Gucci Mane began writing his memoir in a maximum-security federal prison. Released in 2016, he emerged radically transformed. He was sober, smiling, focused, and positive—a far cry from the Gucci Mane of years past.
Born in rural Bessemer, Alabama, Radric Delantic Davis became Gucci Mane in East Atlanta, where the rap scene is as vibrant as the dope game. His name was made as a drug dealer first, rapper second. His influential mixtapes and street anthems pioneered the sound of trap music. He inspired and mentored a new generation of artists and producers: Migos, Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, Zaytoven, Mike Will Made-It, Metro Boomin.
Yet every success was followed by setback. Too often, his erratic behavior threatened to end it all. Incarceration, violence, rap beefs, drug addiction. But Gucci Mane has changed, and he’s decided to tell his story.
In his extraordinary autobiography, the legend takes us to his roots in Alabama, the streets of East Atlanta, the trap house, and the studio where he found his voice as a peerless rapper. He reflects on his inimitable career and in the process confronts his dark past—years behind bars, the murder charge, drug addiction, career highs and lows—the making of a trap god. It is one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of music.
The Autobiography of Gucci Mane is a blunt and candid account—an instant classic.”
