Gucci Mane will have the musical backing of Drumma Boy and the distribution power of Warner Bros. when he releases his street album, The Return of Mr. Zone 6, on March 22.
Most mixtapes are exclusively distributed online and serve to hype official releases. This project will retain the full resources of Gucci Mane’s Warner Bros. label, and be available online and in local retail stores.
Having released dozens of mixtapes over the last few years, Gucci Mane credits the practice as a key component to his initial success. After having moved away from it recently to focus on mainstream albums, the Atlanta rapper is framing this project as a return to his roots.
“The street album is a return to the music that had me buzzin’ in the first place,” Gucci explained in a statement. “It really didn’t make any sense to not have some of the people who’ve been responsible for some of my best street records behind me.”
While the majority of the production will be handled by Drumma Boy, The Return of Mr. Zone 6 will feature beats from Southside and Zaytoven. Guest spots include Waka Flocka Flame, OJ Da Juiceman, Birdman, Wale, Master, Webbie, 8Ball and Rocko.
In the coming weeks, three songs from the album (“24 Hours,” Mouth Full of Gold,” and “I Don’t Love Her”) will have viral videos released via www.guccimaneonline.com.
