The State vs. Radric Davis (Deluxe)

There’s no better evidence of Gucci’s potential as a mainstream rap force than The State vs. Radric Davis, with glossy pop hooks sitting surprisingly naturally alongside synth-heavy trap beats. Gucci brings the best out of a murderer’s row of Atlanta producers: Bangladesh’s hyperactive keys score one of Gucci’s all-time best pop songs on album highlight “Lemonade”. But “Worst Enemy” closes the otherwise club-friendly album on an introspective note, as Gucci raps with eerie prescience about his reckless habits.
