Gucci Mane - Ice Daddy ALBUM REVIEW
For an album called Ice Daddy, there are barely any “BRRR” adlibs. :(
For the majority of last year, Gucci Mane was relatively and surprisingly quiet. He spent most of 2020 revamping his label, 1017 Worldwide, and finding new proteges to take on. Two of them have appearances on this, BigDogWalk and Pooh Shiesty, who’s already had a pretty big year so far. Some publications have gone on to call the 1017 roster the Trap Avengers. I personally disagree, but I totally understand why. For his first solo album since 2019, Ice Daddy is essentially a back-to-basics album. It’s another Gucci Mane album for the masses. Is it any good? Let’s find out.
Honestly, just looking at the tracklist and features, I was pretty sure this was gonna be good. Sir Mix-a-Lot, BIG30, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz, Young Dolph, E-40, and Project Pat all on one project? That’s absolutely insane. These features certainly did their job, though, but they weren’t truly outstanding to me. Except for E-40’s feature, he went ballistic on “Never Runnin Out of Money.” The production is pretty standard, if I’m being totally honest, but that’s not bad by any means whatsoever. Gucci Mane is pretty consistent in his performances too, doing what he does best. His flows have pretty much been good across his entire discography, and it’s no different here.
It’s quite literally another Gucci Mane album. After taking a year off to build up his brand, Ice Daddy is a return to form like he never left. It has some pretty great songs on here and is probably my favorite trap album of the year so far.
