October 17 could be a birthday for many, but it is much more special to Gucci Mane. In light of his label 1017, the Atlanta native surprised his fans with something, more importantly, paying homage to the late rapper Young Dolph.
Gucci’s new album also features collaborations with J. Cole, DaBaby, 21 Savage, and Key Glock. These collaborations continue the partnership between Gucci and Dolph, who was also featured on Dolph’s posthumous album last year.
Fans have eagerly expressed their anticipation for the album on Instagram. One user commented, “1017 The movie we needed!” while another stated, “Tuned In!”
Young Dolph appears on two tracks on the album, namely “Thanks Me Later” and “Pretty Girls.” These tracks showcase the chemistry between Gucci and Dolph, who had previously worked together and formed a strong musical bond. Young Dolph’s contribution to the album adds to the continued collaboration and camaraderie between the two artists.
Following the tragic passing of Young Dolph in 2021, the owner of Makeda’s Butter Cookies bakery, where the fatal shooting occurred, shared her recollection of the heartbreaking incident.
The beloved Memphis rapper had visited the bakery to purchase cookies when an unknown assailant fatally shot him. This tragic event sent shockwaves through the music industry and left fans grieving.
Speaking of new music, in August 2023, Gucci was looking to expand his horizons by signing his first country music artist to his label, 1017. The “Ice Cream Man” took to Instagram on August 16 to share his excitement and seek help from his followers in discovering talent.
In a different context of preserving a late rapper’s legacy, former Migos group member Quavo recently opened up about coping with the sudden passing of his group mate, Takeoff. In an emotional interview with former football player and journalist Shannon Sharpe, Quavo discussed the tragedy that occurred in November 2022 at a Houston bowling alley.
