==Music career== |

In 2005, he released his independent debut album entitled ''[[Trap House]]'', which featured the successful single "Icy" with [[Young Jeezy]]. However, disputes over the rights to this single eventually caused a rift between the two artists. ''[[Hard to Kill]]'' followed in 2006. |
|||
Gucci Mane was propelled to mainstream success with the release of ''[[Back to the Trap House]]'' in 2007, which sold 32,000 copies in its first week. The album was fueled by the hit single "[[Freaky Gurl]]" which peaked at #12 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Rap Tracks, #19 on the ''Billboard'' [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]], and at #62 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]]. |
|||
After ending another prison term, Gucci Mane began working on a mixtape called ''Writing on the Wall'' and "Guccitendo". A new official mixtape "Guccimania" has some of his new 2009 singles featured on the mixtape.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1607973/20090327/gucci_mane.jhtml|title=Gucci Mane Is Out Of Jail And Back On The Mixtape Circuit|last=Reid|first=Shaheem|date=2009-03-30|work=Mixtape Monday|publisher=MTV News|accessdate=2009-05-03}}</ref> Gucci Mane is signed to [[Warner Bros.

He will be releasing his upcoming label debut album (currently untitled) tentatively slated for fall 2009, with the first single being, "[[Wasted (Gucci Mane song)|Wasted]]" featuring [[Plies (rapper)|Plies]] which was originally from his 2009 mixtape ''Writing on the Wall''. The single is so far Gucci Mane's best single to date peaking at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100, also at #7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and #6 on the Hot Rap Tracks. |
