May is a monumental month in the world of Gucci Mane.
The Atlanta rapper took to Instagram on Sunday (May 24) to relish in not only releasing his Trap House project 15 years ago but also to celebrate being out of federal prison. Reposting a video from his first days of freedom in 2016, Gucci got reflective in front of his pool, thanking fans for supporting him since his release and once more took aim at his haters — specifically snitches.
“I drop Traphouse May 24 2005,” Gucci wrote. “15 yrs ago started my career and I got out 4 years ago 2016 thanks all who stayed down fuck all y’all who snitched on me and switched sides!”
Gucci was released on May 26, 2016 after serving three years on a federal firearms charge. In the time since his release, he’s cranked up his relentless output again, releasing 10 projects over the past four years including WOPTOBER, East Atlanta Santa 3 and Evil Genius. He has also rebuilt his 1017 Records imprint and has been plotting on a brand new project for 2020.
