Gucci Mane’s immersion and acceptance into Hipster Cultural is complete! Diplo announced today that he will be remixing Gucci Mane’s entire Cold War mixtape series. Diplo said via press release,
“Gucci Mane is an underdog, and a divisive artist,” says Diplo. “I thought it would be cool to have a bunch of kids and weirdos do some mixes of his songs. We all are fans and we are from different scenes. Gucci is a rapper that doesn’t try and be anything he is not; he’s straight up. Maybe it’s ironic and all, but I’m just a fan and have been since day one. Gucci Mane is the cool uncle I never had even though I’m pretty sure I am older than him.”
Gucci’s first major label album will be released on 12/8, while the rapper serves a one year jail sentence for violating terms of his probation. Diplo’s Mad Decent will also be release a “Free Gucci” t-shirt.
