Gucci Mane – Gotta Get It f. Juvenile (prod. Precise)
A new joint from Juvenile from his album “Cocky & Confident” called “Gotta Get It” features a guest appearance from none other than Gucci Mane because he felt like adding a verse. In this one, Gucci goes wild over a knocking instrumental produced by Precise. You already know that Radric goes ham with his verse which consists of the following lyrics: “Kilo on the floor, sold it to him but I won’t admit it, I’m a hood nigga shawty you a hood critic, I’m on that good liquor shawty, smokin real,” and “Hip hop BET awards sittin right next to Missy, red carpet Gucci walk through.” Juvenile, also called “Juvie,” definitely does his thing and has made a mark in the game with this track. Although it would have been dope if this song was official, it’s still cool to hear a nice non-official New Orleans and East Atlanta hip hop music connection.
The beat knocks with bass from start to finish and all of the verses are all hot. The chorus is somewhat repetitive, but sounds really dope on this joint. It is definitely a good thing to see these two artists hooking up to create such a crazy track for the south and all rap music fans alike to rock with. The album that this track is featured on was released on December 1, 2009. There are multiple versions of this song around the internet, and one version features only verses from Juvenile. The official music video does not include the guest appearance from Gucci Mane, because that was not considered “official.”
Either way, you should recognize that he contributed an awesome verse. Word is that Gucci felt like adding a verse to the track after it dropped in order to create an unofficial “Gotta Get It Remix.” The instrumental is not altered at all and most people would think that this was the actual single to the Cocky and Confident album due to the fact that Gucci’s verse is perfectly sandwiched between Juvenile’s. The two have collaborated before on songs like “I’m Expecting” and “Trigger Play,” in case you were wondering.

It would be nice to have a coordinated and official collaboration between these two southern rap music heavyweights in the future. For now, take the time to rock out to this track and check out how flame Gucci Mane’s verse is on this one. This clearly demonstrates that Gucci is on top of his game when he’s dropping sick verses like this just for fun. Obviously if you are a fan of both Juvenile and Gucci, you will want to make sure that you get a copy in your music collection.
Gucci Mane – Heavy (prod. Shawty Redd)
The track “Heavy” by Gucci Mane is featured on his 2009 album entitled “The State vs. Radric Davis.” The production on this song was handled by the heavyweight Shawty Redd, who has previously produced songs for Gucci. The chorus on this one starts out by saying, “Heavy, real heavy, it feels heavy, somebody help me, my neck hurt my chain heavy, heavy, doors heavy, flows heavy, Gucci bag full of cash, it’s so heavy.” In this song he addresses his ego, by saying that it’s getting too big. This track right here goes hard from start to finish and is surely a breakthrough track for Radric Davis. His fans [and even people that have been sleeping on his skill] will recognize that this track is what the streets need.
He drops some solid lyrics like: “I need some toilet paper; I’m the shit in East Atlanta” and never fails to impress the listeners. The piano on this track is absolutely insane and is destined to make the trappers go crazy. In addition, the 808 drums absolutely bang through the listener’s sound system. Is this Gucci Mane song going to get a lot of radio play? Probably not, but it is recognized as one of the most street tracks on his album. He also addresses The State by saying, “I gave my lawyer half a mill and told him come and get me.”
Gucci Mane always brings some solid lyrics to impress his fans saying things like “I keep Miami heat, got more straps than a gun show, run up on the kid I’ll have you mourning like Alonzo” as well as (later in the track) – “I got birds like Atlanta zoo – bitch who are you? I got goons like a scary movie – yeah that is true, And I change cars like a rich white girl change shoes.” This song is like a digital dose of energy drink, it will leave you feeling pumped up for long after hearing it. Although nearly all of his mixtapes are dope, songs like this are able to draw a clear line between album and tapes.

When an artist like Gucci puts in such hard work and does such a good job with street anthems like “Heavy,” you have got to applaud him. He deserves all of the shine that he’s been getting, especially when he makes such a strong album. Each song on the entire Radric Davis vs. The State album has banging instrumentals and very clever lyrics. This track is bound to have appeal to all types of rap fans. Make sure that you take a listen and purchase yourself a copy from the store or on iTunes along with the album.
