Meet the New Artists of Gucci Mane’s Record Label ‘The New 1017’

Rapper Gucci Mane is reviving the music industry with modern rap artists to craft hits to shape the future. His updated record label formally known as 1017 Eskimo features four new male artists and two new female artists who are here to change the game. The group recently dropped two hit singles “No Luv” and “1017 Loaded” as well as their latest album “So Icy Gang, Vol. 1” which features 19 songs. 

In a recent interview with XXL, Gucci Mane reveals the urge to share knowledge with upcoming artists. “I’m in a better place than I ever been in my life, even though the world is deteriorating around me,” he said. “I wanna share [with new artists]. I feel like I got a lot of knowledge. I’ve always been charitable with my time and knowledge. I always embraced the hardcore rapper that don’t nobody want to fuck with, that everyone blackballed or whatever. Those be the people I open my doors to.”
