![]() ![]() ![]() On Woptober, Gucci can be fun and playful, grimy or poignant and thoughtful and sometimes he’s all of these things at once. Despite the newfound clearness of his voice, likely a result of those shed pounds, it still has that guttural allure. Songs like “Wop” and “Hi-Five” highlight this with an icy, brooding sound and Gucci feels perfectly at home there. Woptober is more attuned to the classic Gucci Mane aesthetic than Everybody Looking The production is colder, murkier and with heavier bass, with Gucci slinking and swimming through it with precision and clearheaded insight. Since being freed, he’s taking over the reins and is making up for lost time with the release of Woptober, three months after his first post-prison album Everybody Looking. During that time in prison, the one thing that kept Gucci’s name relevant in music-beyond the success of the younger artists he had supported, like Young Thug and Migos-was the steady stream of mixtapes that were able to come out using his unreleased music.
