While Gucci Mane and his team have continued to give fans plenty of new music this year, the fact remains that he is still serving a lengthy prison sentence for a federal gun charge. Even with all of the new music, Gucci's actual interaction with his fans has been limited, until today, when MTV published a story with a handwritten letter by Gucci himself from prison.
In the letter, which can be seen below, Gucci talks about bringing his music to a higher level once he gets out and that he has also learned the art of being humble while in prison. Additionally, Gucci lays out his plan for once he is released, saying that he is looking forward walking down red carpets with his lady, and that he is focused on becoming healthier by improving his diet and staying sober. Gucci is currently serving a 39 month sentence, though because of timed served it was dropped down to 28 months in September.
My idea is to take my career to the next level. I am planning to take my music to a higher level and use the attention and influence to sell movies, books, clothing and be a living testimony to all people showing that you can start from humble beginnings and transcend to something greater.
It feels great to see my plan take root and begin to blossom even though I’m physically incarcerated but spiritually and mentally I’m free as ever. I enjoy working out molding my body and I look forward to changing my diet for the better because I realize to get to the status I crave I must make a life-change which is permanent not a quick-fix.
I can see myself now at the top of my game, me and my beautiful lady walking the red carpet at the best parties and getting flooded with accolades at the award shows and setting trends that will be copied around the world. This is not a dream though this is a plan that I will affect directly. I know that by me stayin sober, praying and fasting and stepping up to the plate to the father, and man I am destined to be I will impact my family and the entire universe for the better.
