Gucci Mane's new work "Brick Factory 3" from the "Brick Factory" series, was released on Feb 3.

This is not about quality control or marketing plans or branding-Gucci is an insatiable artist whose creative output has no off-switch, and his team probably works nights and weekends to facilitate that.

From a report by XXLMag, this tape itself is one of the sharper Gucci efforts in recent memory, at par with December's excellent East Atlanta Santa. "Brick Factory 3" sports no fewer than six features from Young Thug, while there's no way to verify the exact time frame in which these tracks were recorded, most of the material sounds were recorded more recently than hastily-released projects like Thug's 1017 Thug 3. "Heart Attack" employs Thugga's cracked warble to full effect, while Gucci bends and warps his baritone into phrases you should be saving for Valentine's Day text messages. If there's a roadblock, it's pacing - meaning the record sputters and stops at one point on either side. But Gucci is as distinct as ever, the Thug- and Lil B-assisted "My All" is an essential Guwop.

At press time, recent reports are saying that Gucci will be released from prison on December 2016, at which time he will begin serving three years' worth of probation. His travel could be limited, which could curtail some of his touring plans.

In August 2014, Gucci, whose real name is Radric Davis, was sentenced to 39 months in prison for a federal gun charge he pled guilty to in May 2014. He has requested to serve his time away from the West Coast where he would be away from distractions. He has also recommended the judge to send him to a facility with a recovery program for lean addiction.
