Gucci Mane is set to perform at the Atlanta Symphony Hall on Saturday, October 12. The Atlanta legend will be joined by the Atlanta Pops Orchestra and will distribute cash prizes to the best “dressed man and woman.”
“[Atlanta]! I hear you [have] been asking for this one, so I’m coming home to give it to you. Join me at [the] Atlanta Symphony Hall on Saturday, October 12 as I perform my hits for the [first] [t]ime [e]ver with an orchestra,” he told his fans through Instagram on Tuesday, June 25.
“Oh, yeah and I’m personally giving out a cash prize to the best dressed man and woman[,] [s]o have that s—t on. lAl traps [will be] closed and I need all my balling buddies from out [of] town to fly in.”
Gucci Mane may have been born in Alabama, but his musical roots lie in the city of Atlanta. The trap music pioneer has played a role in the growth of Atlanta’s Hip-Hop scene for more than 20 years. Working with Zaytoven, he rose to prominence in the mid to late 2000s with a slew of mixtapes, including Chicken Talk and No Pad, No Pencil. Those mixtapes, coupled with singles like “Icy” and “Freaky Gurl,” brought the mixtape legend to the mainstream. Along the way to the top, he worked with everyone from OJ Da Juiceman to Mariah Carey. More recently, he’s turned his attention to his own record label, 1017 Records. Now, he’ll bring his expansive discography to the stage for a special evening in Atlanta.
