Gucci Mane - Hard to Kill [Explicit Content] (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, Gold Vinyl) (2 LP)

October 2006: Atlanta was rewriting hip-hop, and Gucci Mane's Hard to Kill was the blueprint. His sophomore LP paired Radric Davis with a young Zaytoven across a run of church-organ-and-808 beats that would define trap for a generation. "My Chain," "Freaky Girl," and features from Gangsta Boo and La Chat catch a rapper turning legal chaos into swagger - inventing a sound the mainstream wouldn't catch up to for years. Twenty years later, the record that built modern trap gets the anniversary pressing it earned.
