Gucci Mane has long earned the distinction of being fully tapped into what's happening musically on the streets, culminating in success through his label 1017 Records. However, Gucci Mane flips the script and clears the entire roster, but is chosen to keep Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano.
Taking to Instagram and featuring the 1017 Records honcho taking a quick drive, Gucci Mane essentially shared with his followers the impetus behind his decision to allow his artists to find new deals. Gucci shared that after reviewing his P&L and other business factors, he felt it was best to clean up shop and allow his current stable of artists to find new deals.
Over the years, Gucci Mane has been instrumental in the careers of Waka Flocka Flame, Migos, Chief Keef, Asian Doll, OJ da Juiceman, Pee Wee Longway and the late Enchanting among others. Gucci shared in the clip that he is still looking for new artists and said that he could have kept the roster intact, but wanted to give them a chance to forge their own paths.
