I just did a recent road trip with my teens and one of the songs on our playlist was Gucci Mane! He has always been one of my favorite rappers of all time and recently he did a cover shoot and interview with Fader magazine. In his interview he talks about his stint in prison, exercise, his family and so much more! I love how he dresses too, its so hip hop! Enjoy a few snaps from the shoot inside and an excerpt from his interview with an video clip too…
“Life in prison was hell,” says the 36-year-old rapper born Radric Davis. He’d been serving time on two counts of firearm possession as a felon. “It was a maximum security prison and it was a lot of violence. People were dying every week. [But] I think it helped me to get to the point I’m at now, to drive me out from the drugs. It gave me time to reflect, it made a lot of relationships that were toxic in my life just fall away.”
