Gucci Mane wants to drop 10 albums in 2013. “I gotta do it,” he said to Billboard last week. It’s as if the Atlanta rapper wants the same momentum he had going into 2009’s The State vs. Radric Davis. In the song “Heavy,” he sounded bewildered because of his own career progression: “My ego gettin’ too big, it’s too heavy / My head gettin’ too big, it’s so heavy.”

Gucci Mane has already released 60 tracks this year, and he’s beefing with Young Jeezy again. On Twitter, he’s even invited the Snowman to his party tonight (Wednesday, October 17) at adult club Diamonds of Atlanta, but with the caveat of a $100,000 bet: “I can and will beat Jeezy ass #JUSTTRUTHS.”

Then last night, Gucci Mane previewed his new mixtape Trap God, out today at 6 p.m., at Patchwerk Studios off Hemphill Avenue. In the middle of the listening session, Love & Hip-Hop’s Momma Dee broke through the crowd and introduced the rapper to her friend, Flavor of Love Season 2 contestant Shay Johnson. Johnston twirled as she ran her hands through her sleek ponytail, then shyly walked away. Gucci smiled, as Trap God blared and seemingly echoed his thoughts — “I’d fuck with that.”

If Gucci does indeed plan to release 10 albums in 2013, then Trap God plays out as the culmination of his training before next year’s marathon. To crisp snares and stomping synths, he brags a few times of being in the trap in his long johns. He frequently spits out notable stats, such as being worth $10 million with no jewelry on. In “Get Money Nigga,” featuring Meek Mill, Gucci Mane acts like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino as he hollers, “Get the fuck out East Atlanta, you know you don’t belong here!”
