Atlanta’s own GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum superstar Gucci Mane turns the page on what promises to be his most prolific, powerful, and poignant season yet. He has now uncovered his anxiously awaited seventeenth full-length album, Episodes, on the heels of releasing his accompanying third book, also entitled Episodes, earlier this week.

For this chapter, Gucci enters uncharted territory once again, as the legendary rapper has concurrently unleashed a literary tome to accompany a musical body of work. Even in the midst of his groundbreaking career, this is truly unprecedented. Episodes effectively doubles as a “soundtrack” to the book, adding another dimension to the story and presenting a whole new vantage point on Gucci Mane as an artist, author, man, father, and visionary. He’s exploring mental health with no holds-barred and documenting his own journey to getting well. It’s nothing short of profound.

Marking a career first, Episodes acts as an emotionally charged high stakes soundtrack for the book, which reveals Gucci Mane’s struggles with mental health and drug addiction and provides fans and readers with insights into his career and life. These “Episodes” encompassed what happened behind the music itself. Between disclosing his own stories, he even personally interviews various mental health professionals in order to offer a well-rounded and informed perspective. Throughout Episodes, he holds nothing back and ultimately finds healing in his words on the page and on tape.

Setting this album on it’s feet is the double track single releases of “Voices/Psycho” which play back to back on the album tracklist. Both tracks find Guwop in top form as he bodies the production with confessional, catchy, and endlessly quotable rhymes. To propel the connection of these two songs, Gucci accompanied the release with a visual powered by EDGLRD who brought this to life in a short timeframe, blending high-level creativity with emerging technology and AI.

Gucci Mane has been on a soft book tour making special in-store events that have traveled from Miami’s Books & Books to Atlanta’s A Cappella Books. The tour rounds off today at New York City’s Barnes & Nobles. The book has also been made available online via Simon & Schuster.
