And then, it was announced: the surprise was Free Bricks: Zone 6 Edition, a free six-song collaborative project with Future. Gucci spoke to Miss Info about how it came to be:

“Last night, me and Future met up in Atlanta. We ditched our entourages, we didn’t book my usual studio, or his usual studio…it’s like we knew we wanted to fly under the radar,” says Gucci. “There was like this positive competition in the room. I’d hear him go in on a verse, and I knew I had to step up.”

The project is a sequel to Gucci and Future's original Free Bricks, a 13-song mixtape that came out in 2011.
