The new Gucci Mane album features production from Polow Da Don, Drumma Boy, Mannie Fresh, Sean Garrett, and others. As for feature appearances, fans can expect to hear Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, OJ Da Juiceman, and Waka Flocka rapping alongside Gucci on the album. Another Atlanta artist, Usher, appears on Gucci Mane’s latest single from The State Vs Radric Davis, entitled “Spotlight.” Here’s some more information about Gucci Mane and his upcoming album courtesy of the folks at So Icey/Asylum/Warner Bros. Records.

2009 has been a very busy year for the Atlanta native. Bridging the gap between the streets and mainstream, Gucci Mane elevated his profile by appearing on four Top 20 singles this summer including Mario’s “Break Up,” Trey Songz’ “LOL” featuring Soulja Boy, and landing the feature on Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” remix and his own first single “Wasted.” Gucci Mane has been seemingly everywhere with more than 150 songs on over 40 different mixtapes and albums.

Despite his success, Gucci Mane remains true to his underground cult following who continue to demonstrate their devotion to the battle-tested hero. His set-up single “Wasted” featuring Plies with OJ Da Juiceman on the remix is the rapper’s most successful single to date. The song is currently nestled in at #2 on the urban mainstream radio chart and, with over 15 million plays on MySpace, it is currently the #5 most streamed song on all of MySpace. Gucci’s next single from the new album is “Spotlight,” which features 5-time Grammy Award winning R&B singer Usher and promises to capitalize on the rapper’s momentum in the mainstream and will surely be a strong, radio-ready follow-up for his ever-growing audience. While Gucci continues to release mixtapes, including his latest The Cold War series, the new album will contain ALL new, never-before-heard music and will include not only the mainstream hits, but also a slew of street anthems from Drumma Boy, Zaytoven, and Fat Boi.

Gucci Mane first came onto the scene in 2005 with his smash single “So Icey” featuring Young Jeezy off his debut album, Trap House. Disputes over the song’s rights resulted in a well-publicized and deadly beef between the two artists and would be the source of legal headaches for years to come. His follow-up album Back to the Trap House spawned the hit “Freaky Gurl” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks.
