Gucci Mane

 Gucci Mane is a prolific artist with a lengthy list of credits. As the founding father of trap music, Mane's been creating the genre of rap since 2001 when he released his first underground release: Str8 Drop Records Presents Gucci Mane La Flare. He has accumulated a long list of accomplishments in music: numerous singles and mixtapes, along with eight studio albums. However, he began his career as Radric Davis, who grew up in Atlanta and watched his dad hustle people to get money. "You know, he played various games and scams like three cards molly and shaking the pea pigeon drop," Gucci Mane tells NPR's Ailsa Chan. "All of these were little scams that he had learned from tricks he learned from the streets."
