Gucci Mane, Cold | Song Review 🎵

Gucci Mane taps producer Mike WiLL Made-It, and fellow rapper, B.G. for the ice 🧊 cold 🥶 rap banger, “Cold.”  

“Thinking ‘bout them cold nights, sleeping in that cold cell / Eating nothin’ but cold food, they let me out that cold jail.” Woo! 🎙️ Gucci Mane makes it crystal clearly on his single, 🎵 “Cold” that incarceration was hell. It begins early on in the song with the real-talk chorus, which is capped off by the assertion, “Took off all them jail clothes, showered 🚿 off that jail smell.” On this brief but telling two-and-a-half minute song, Gucci is assisted by producer extraordinaire, 🎛️ Mike WiLL Made-It, and fellow rapper,  🎙️ B.G..

That beat by Mike WiLL Made-It is cold 🥶 as hell 😈… rather, cold 🥶 as ice 🧊 😈. The minimalist backdrop is great fuel ⛽️ for the fire 🔥 of both Gucci Mane and B.G. Following the chorus, Gucci Mane continues to impress with his flow. It’s typical, but always great to hear that mush-mouthed delivery from the veteran rapper. Unapologetic, Gucci keeps it street AF: “Shout out to the cartel, fuck the opps, they called twelve / I been trapping since twelve, selling nicks and bricks and bales.” Wow 😮! B.G. keeps the same energy in the second verse: “Feds got me burnt out, still a little institutionalized / Nigga, that shit was real, seen niggas stabbed to death right before my eyes.” Traumatizing! All told, 🎵 “Cold” is a stone cold rap banger 💯.
