It’s been a good week for you Gucci. You just got out of jail and dropped an album with V-Nasty, BAYTL. How are things going with that?

Gucci Mane: Everything’s going well. The album, by word of mouth, [is] gonna spread from how good it is once people get it and start listening to it.

V-Nasty: I feel blessed about it. Motherfuckers better know, this is my only music I ever dropped.

V-Nasty you're from the Bay and Gucci’s from the ATL. How did y’all link up?

Gucci Mane: It was just meant for us to meet. I was a fan of her, and she was a fan of mine. I like what she doing [and] she like what I’m doing. We just came to the lab and the music was just crazy. It was so easy. I never did an album so easy.

I heard it took like two weeks?

Gucci Mane: It took like three days!

Wow. How was it working with Gucci? I heard he was one of your favorite rappers.

V-Nasty: He is. He was great. He kept me going too.

Explain the day when you got that call.

V-Nasty: I had seen my manager, and he was like, ‘Aye, you wanna make a mixtape with Gucci Mane?’ I’m like, ‘Man, stop playing with me!' [Laughs.] He was like, ‘I’m serious!’ I was like, ‘Okay, hell yeah I want to do this shit,’ and then it happened. That shit happened quick.

What made you hear about V-Nasty? What stood out about her?

Gucci Mane: I keep my ear to the street. Whatever’s popping or whatever’s new, I want to be a part of. I feel like she got a lot of energy. She creative. She remind me a lot of me when I was coming up. I’m a big fan.

[The music that] I did hear from her was hard. I was open to [the idea when] somebody came up with the idea like, ‘You should do a mixtape with one of my homies.’ When he brought it to me, I was like, ‘That’s a good idea.’ I just never knew the music was gonna come out the way it did. it’s so effortless.
