It was released on December 25, 2014, by 1017 Records and 101 Distribution. The Return of East Atlanta Santa leans on this lighter, more playful side of Gucci’s personality, proving along the way that back to business doesn’t have to mean an absence of fun.DJ Spinz, Drumma Boy, Zaytoven, 808 Mafia, Nard & BĮast Atlanta Santa is the twelfth studio album by American rapper Gucci Mane. Gucci’s also still capable of rattling off deceptively poetic turns of phrases like “Now my watch so fucking bright it look like sunlight in the night,” as heard on the Mike WiLL Made-It-produced standout “Nonchalant.” On the same song he raps “In a whip so new, valet scared to park it,” an example of his sense of humor, which doesn't always get enough credit. It’s more successful than the last time the two linked up-“Back on Road” off Everybody Looking-on which a phoned-in Drake hook added little. He isn’t overwhelmed when Drake shows up to pull double duty on “Both,” lending his voice to the song's chorus as well as contributing a verse of his own. Gucci himself remains as magnetic as ever. It contains some of the few direct references to Gucci’s erratic last decade: “See I’m an ex-X popper and online shopper / Niggas thought I was a clone, they heard me speak proper.” The other nod to his self-destructive past arrives in the chorus of “I Can’t,” one of the stickiest in his post-prison output: “You can talk about homicides, but I can’t.” The album features guest appearances from Shawty Lo, Raury and OJ da Juiceman.The album features production from DJ Spinz, Metro Boomin, Drumma Boy, Zaytoven, Doughboy Beatz, Honorable C.N.O.T.E. “Last Time” features Travis Scott in support mode-which also happens to be his best mode-and preaches conscientiousness in recreational drug use. East Atlanta Santa is the twelfth studio album by American rapper Gucci Mane. The allusions to cleaner living are mostly oblique. Whereas Everybody Looking and Woptober mirrored Gucci’s new lifestyle in content as well as form-he opened Everybody Looking by introducing himself as a “recovering drug addict”-here it is reflected in the clarity of his performance. The holiday cheer extends no further, but the album’s remaining twelve tracks benefit from similarly locked-in performances.
Brick Intro” he immediately slips in the pocket of Zaytoven’s funhouse minor-key rework of “Jingle Bells” and paints himself as the trap Kris Kringle: “Middle of the winter, I pull up in a vert / It’s the middle of December, she pulled up in a skirt/ Santa Claus of the hood, I pull up with the work / They call me East Atlanta Santa, run up on me, get murked.” Irreverent and silly as hell, the only thing that might prevent it from joining the pantheon of unconventional Christmas bangers is the slightness that comes with acting as an album’s welcome mat. Drake, Travis Scott, and Bryson Tiller kill their features.
The holiday release continues to exude Gucci Manes Atlanta trap prowess, with lead single 'Jingle Bales' transforming the classic Christmas carol track into a holiday trap anthem. Gucci Mane’s third album in six months finds the Brick Squad boss asserting his Trap God status, enjoying the spoils and dispelling clones and haters with lethal lines. The hardest working man in hip-hop releases his fourth album this year with East Atlanta Santa 3. No longer is he searching for his footing: on opener “St. The extra-prolific rapper closes out 2016 on a high note. On The Return of East Atlanta Santa, his final release of 2016, Gucci has caught up with his new normal, sounding fully acclimatized to the new version of himself. Three months later, Woptober followed, which found the prolific Atlanta rapper increasing his familiarity with his vocal register, his rapping tighter and more assured. July’s Everybody Looking felt like an exploratory mission, as if he was unfamiliar with his own voice and testing out his new physical presence for size.
