His early work led him to collaborate with SYS Records, laying the foundation for his career in hip hop.

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.
