The Autobiography of Gucci Mane

undefined

Review ------ "As wild, unpredictable, and fascinating as the man himself." —COMPLEX “A cautionary tale that ends in triumph. . . . There are scenes from Gucci Mane’s new autobiography that seem better fit for a gripping O drama than for the story of a guy who recently won his first MTV Video Music Award.” —GQ “A captivating dive into the mind of Radric Davis. . . . The book provides incredible in into one of the most influential rappers of the last decade, detailing a volatile and fascinating life . . . By the end, every reader will have a greater understanding of Gucci Mane, the man and the musician.” —PITCHFORK “A story of black manhood in the American South as never described before. . . . an eye-opening look into the life of the Trap God and the sound he influenced. . . . a revelation and a welcome addition to hip-hop’s literary legacy.” —ALL HIP HOP “Reads like a drugged out crime thriller on A&E. . . . A thorough look into the experiences that molded one of rap's most polarizing figures in recent memory.” —VICE "Few careers have been as tumultuous as that of Radric Delantic Davis. Through sheer grit, shrewd intelligence, and a stubborn unwillingness to be counted out, he transformed himself from a street hustler, drug dealer, and occasional strong-armed robber into a modern day Zone 6 prophet. Even while incarcerated, Gucci remained a cult hero to a generation that reached far beyond the Southern city where his influence first blossomed. His is a story of overcoming adversity, taming internal demons and rejecting the imposed labels of others." —HIGHSNOBIETY “Gucci Mane’s story is one of reinvention.” —PEOPLE.COM “Highly-anticipated . . . a serious look inside his major life struggles and triumphs.” —BILLBOARD “Inspirational.” —THE SOURCE “The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, written with music journalist Neil Martinez-Belkin, quietly defies the conventions of the celebrity memoir genre; in parts, it reads like what I can only describe as pop culture poetry. . . . In its conversational candor and the razor-sharp image it evokes of a particular era, it felt reminiscent of Patti Smith’s Just Kids.” —LITERARY HUB About the Author ---------------- Gucci Mane, born Radric Delantic Davis, is a critically accled, platinum-selling artist. He has released nine studio albums and dozens of mixtapes. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife Keyshia Ka’oir. The Autobiography of Gucci Mane is his first book.
