Hard to Kill 2LP

Here's the blueprint before anybody called it a blueprint. Hard to Kill is Gucci Mane's second album, put out through Marlon "Big Cat" Rowe's Big Cat Records with Tommy Boy handling distribution, and it's an early showcase for the partnership between Zaytoven's beats and Gucci's drawl that would go on to run Atlanta trap production for years afterward. Gangsta Boo and La Chat drop in from Memphis, "My Chain" and "Freaky Gurl" carry the singles column, and critics shrugged at the time. History didn't. This is that sound taking shape.
