B.G. and Gucci Mane recently shook the Southern rap scene with their highly anticipated joint mixtape, “Choppers & Bricks.” In a revealing interview on the Rap Radar Podcast, the legendary duo shared insights into the collaborative process that birthed this 13-track masterpiece.
As the beats dropped and the verses flowed, a friendly competition brewed between the two, leading to a mutual admiration society. Gucci Mane expressed his surprise at the quality of B.G.’s verses, admitting, “All these songs hard.” B.G., in turn, confessed to a moment of humility when he felt outdone on a track: “Wop, man, you crushed me on this one! I think I might need to go back in.” Despite this, both artists acknowledged that this friendly rivalry pushed them to elevate their game, resulting in a project that exceeded expectations.
“Choppers & Bricks” not only signifies a musical triumph but also marks B.G.’s return to the forefront since his release from prison in September. The former Cash Money rapper has been making waves with several singles and collaborations, including tracks with E-40, Kevin Gates, Boosie Badazz, and Maino.
Gucci Mane’s support for B.G. extends beyond the studio, as he previously declared a $1 million record deal to bring the rap veteran into the 1017 family. This public endorsement, coupled with Birdman’s affirmation of B.G.’s return to Cash Money Records, paints a picture of an artist welcomed back with open arms into the hip-hop community.
