Breakthrough with "Trap House" and Ascending Career
Gucci Mane released his debut album, Trap House, in 2005. While it didn't achieve mainstream commercial success, it performed well for an independent release, reaching the top 20 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The project helped establish Gucci Mane in the Southern rap scene.
In 2006, he released his follow-up album, Hard to Kill, which featured the successful single "Freaky Gurl." The track received a remix in 2007 and marked one of his early charting songs. Later that same year, he released Back to the Trap House. Around this time, Mane expanded his reach through appearances on several remixes of popular tracks including "Boom Boom Pow," "5 Star Chick," and "Obsessed."
By the end of 2009, Gucci Mane had been featured on or released 17 tracks, including both original songs and remixes. That year, he signed with Warner Bros. Records and released The State vs. Radric Davis, which included collaborations with major artists. His growing influence in the hip hop industry earned him the No. 6 spot on MTV's annual "Hottest MC in the Game" list in 2009.
