We’ve purposefully left off the tracks that eventually made it to Trap House III – so that means no ‘ Hell Yes’ (arguably Gucci’s 2013 high point), no ‘Birds of a Feather’ (probably the diss track of the year) and no ‘Darker’, but there’s plenty more where they came from. With so many releases and feature spots it can however be something of a mission to trawl through each one looking for moments of brilliance, so we’ve pulled together a selection of Gucci’s best of the year so far. In many ways he’s rap’s counterpart to Wolf Eyes, releasing mixtapes much in the same way the noise set churn out CDRs and tapes, as experiments to see what sticks and what simply falls by the wayside – not just for himself but for the wider 1017 Brick Squad family.

And with his new studio album 'Everybody Looking,' the new Gucci's back and he's not going anywhere.
Towering above his eight (!) mixtapes this year is Trap House III, Gucci’s lone ‘proper’ album, and it’s a damn good one. He talks fashion with 'Vogue.' He eats kale. It also reached at 2 on the Rap albums chart and 8 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. 17, Gucci Mane will unveil 'Trap God,' his third mixtape of the year following 'Trap Back' and 'I'm Up.' By the end of 2012, the prolific Atlanta MC will have released a whopping 60 tracks. is an Atlanta rapper known for his insane work ethic: he has released 12 studio albums. Gucci Mane has had a frighteningly good year, and while he’s had the odd brush with the law (again), the rapper has managed to spend most of his time doing exactly what he does best – releasing mixtape after mixtape of high-grade Atlanta rap.
