Gucci Mane ft. Future and Rocko – “Go”

Gucci Mane and Future Drop “Go” Featuring Rocko

Gucci Mane and Future, two of Atlanta’s most influential trap artists, have delivered another energetic track with “Go,” featuring Rocko. This song, included on their joint mixtape Free Bricks, dropped earlier this summer and has been a standout addition to their collaborative catalog. With its infectious hook and hard-hitting verses, “Go” exemplifies the synergy between Gucci Mane and Future. Gucci is the veteran trap rapper. Meanwhile, Future is the newcomer who has the streets on lock.

Rocko is also a “hood A&R” of sorts, as Future is his artist. Fans likely best-know Rocko for his 2008 hit, “Umma Do Me.” However, what goes overlooked is that a then-unknown Future has cameos throughout that video. At the time, Rocko was the emerging star. Now, that title belongs solely to Future, but Rocko is backing him up. So, with Gucci Mane being on top of the mixtape world, and Future being the rising newcomer, they have Free Bricks. Meanwhile, Rocko makes his cameo with “Go.”

The Power Trio: Gucci Mane, Future, and Rocko

“Go” brings together three Atlanta heavyweights, each bringing their unique flair to the track. Gucci Mane’s signature drawl kicks off the song. Thus, delivering confident lyrics that paint a vivid picture of his lifestyle. Future’s futuristic flow and penchant for melody add a dynamic layer to the song. Meanwhile Rocko’s gritty delivery rounds out the trio.

Produced by Zaytoven, “Go” boasts a polished sound that underscores the chemistry between the three rappers. The production blends heavy bass, crisp hi-hats, and atmospheric keys, creating a track that’s as club-ready as it is street-savvy.

Breaking Down the Lyrics

Gucci Mane opens “Go” with a declaration of his lavish lifestyle:
“Sitting low on the wood floor / But you can see me from the nose bleed.”

This sets the tone for a song that celebrates excess and success. Future follows with his verse, incorporating clever wordplay and his signature Auto-Tuned delivery:
“I make so many damn commas / We at the city in the daytime.”

Rocko closes the track with his bold, unapologetic style, declaring:
“R-O-C-K-Okay okey-doke man that’s all I know / Living life too fast, heart can’t go slow.”

The chorus ties the verses together, with Gucci Mane repeating:
“Go, go, go, go / So I f*ck her one time and I let her go.”

A Standout from Free Bricks

“Go” is one of several notable tracks from Free Bricks, the collaborative mixtape between Gucci Mane and Future. Released on July 29, 2011, the project showcases their shared affinity for storytelling and high-energy production. Maybach Music’s newest signee, DJ Scream, the Atlanta mixtape veteran, is the host of this project.

The mixtape also features other standout tracks, such as “Lamborghini” and “Stevie Wonder,” which have further solidified Gucci Mane and Future’s reputations as pioneers in the trap genre. Their ability to balance catchy hooks with raw, unfiltered lyrics makes Free Bricks a must-listen for fans of the genre.

The Role of Zaytoven’s Production

Zaytoven, one of Atlanta’s most respected producers, plays a pivotal role in shaping the sound of “Go.” Known for his ability to craft beats that blend trap grit with melodic finesse, Zaytoven’s production provides the perfect backdrop for Gucci Mane, Future, and Rocko to shine.

From the booming basslines to the subtle piano melodies, Zaytoven’s contributions elevate “Go” from a standard trap anthem to a memorable track that showcases the depth of Atlanta’s hip-hop scene.

The Legacy of Gucci Mane and Future

Gucci Mane has played an instrumental role in redefining Atlanta hip hop. Additionally, his mixtape run was made legendary by how improbable it was. As a result, Gucci not only has become the face of trap music. In addition, he’s opened doors for the likes of OJ Da Juiceman and Waka Flocka Flame to also become stars. While Future is not his artist, Gucci is allowing him a similar platform, with Free Bricks.

Future, meanwhile, has played instrumental roles in shaping the sound of 2011 hip-hop. First, he had his appearance on YC’s “Racks.” That song turned both Future and YC into household names. For Future, it was the culmination of a mixtape run that began early last year, with 1000. However, his appearance on “Racks” made him a known entity in hip hop. So, Future wasted no time getting his own music out there, scoring a hit of his own with “Tony Montana.” Now, every rapper in the game is remixing his record.

As a result, the Atlanta legend, Gucci Mane, took notice. He recruited Future for Free Bricks and it’s been a success. Gucci Mane’s prolific output and influence as a mentor to younger artists have earned him a legendary status in the industry.

Their collaboration on Free Bricks demonstrates their ability to merge their distinct styles while maintaining the authenticity that fans have come to expect.

Rocko’s Contributions to the Track

Rocko, a veteran in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene. In 2008, he emerged as a superstar with one of that year’s first hits. With “Umma Do Me,” Rocko created an anthem that went from Atlanta, through Limewire, and other torrents. Then, with the music video, as previously mentioned, there’s a cameo from a then-unknown Future.

As a result, Rocko adds an essential layer to “Go.” His verse showcases his ability to match the energy of Gucci Mane and Future while bringing his own perspective to the song.

Rocko’s contributions to the Atlanta hip-hop community are often understated, including him indirectly introducing Future to the masses. However, his presence on “Go” serves as a reminder of his lyrical prowess and enduring influence.

The Impact of Free Bricks

Free Bricks has become a significant milestone in Gucci Mane and Future’s careers. The mixtape not only highlights their individual talents but also demonstrates their ability to collaborate effectively.

For Gucci Mane, Free Bricks continues his streak of successful projects that have solidified his status as a trap legend. For Future, the mixtape represents another step in his meteoric rise, following the success of tracks like “Tony Montana” and his feature on YC’s “Racks.”

The addition of Rocko on tracks like “Go” further enhances the mixtape’s appeal, offering a glimpse into the collaborative spirit that defines Atlanta’s hip-hop community.

Conclusion

“Go” stands as a testament to the power of collaboration in hip-hop. With Gucci Mane, Future, and Rocko each bringing their unique styles to the track, the song captures the essence of Atlanta’s trap scene.

As part of Free Bricks, “Go” showcases the chemistry between Gucci Mane and Future while highlighting the contributions of Rocko and Zaytoven. The song’s infectious energy and memorable lyrics make it a standout in their collaborative catalog.
