Their overlapping lifestyles and motivations made a Gucci Mane and Meek Mill collab inevitable and Backwards offers a taste of their shared grind.
Debuting on Beats 1 with Ebro, Gucci Mane shares details on recording the song with Meek Mill in a Miami penthouse.
“Just sitting down talking, man, just you know what we had in our lives, man, that was special. Like two kings, it’s like salute to salute. Like man, you made it. You made it through. I was praying for you, I was rooting for you. I knew this was going to happen.”
With Backwards Meek Mill and Gucci Mane offer a potential summer banger with a Zaytoven beat and brash lyrics to back it up.
