It's Evil Genius release week, a fact which somehow hasn't resulted in a fresh Gucci Mane performance every single night since last Friday. Still, at least we have this new Jimmy Kimmel Live rendition of Guwop's Kevin Gates collab "I'm Not Goin."

Up top, catch Mane and Gates performance of the Sool Got Hits and Murda Beatz-produced Evil Genius cut for the remarkably subdued Hollywood audience.

In November, the two linked with BET Hip Hop Award-nominated director Eif Rivera for the track's official video. Mane previously worked with Rivera—whose filmography also includes memorable entries from DK Khaled, Jeezy, and more—on the supremely underrated video for his 2017 Nicki Minaj collab "Make Love."

All told, Guwop's Evil Genius studio sessions resulted in at least 70 new songs from which he ultimately pulled the final tracklist of 17. "I usually just take twenty songs and put them out but this time I really recorded a bunch of songs and then picked through them," Mane told Zane Lowe in August. 

Gucci Mane is currently wrapping up his Unusual Suspects Tour with Smokepurpp and Carnage. The tour hits the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles Wednesday, followed by a tour-ending show at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on Evil Genius release day.
