Background[edit]
Less than a week after releasing his twelfth album El Gato: The Human Glacier, Gucci Mane announced his next album titled 'The Evil Genius'.[3]
During an interview with Billboard, Gucci Mane spoke about the progress of album:
“ | I've been really working on the songs. You know, I just don't put out anything. So I'm trying to make this project one of my best projects ever. I'm really trying to collaborate with the best producers and make sure I give my fans something that they can be like, 'Ok, Gucci still coming hard. He still passionate about the music.[4] | ” |
In an interview with Zane Lowe, Gucci Mane revealed production from Metro Boomin, Southside, and Honorable C.N.O.T.E. and guest appearances from Offset, Quavo, 21 Savage, Kevin Gates and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.[5]
On November 6, 2018, the album's release date was announced, alongside the revealing of the tracklist.[6]
On November 27, 2018, the cover art was revealed via Instagram, with a short album teaser on Twitter.[7]
Promotion[edit]
The album's lead single, 'Solitaire' featuring Migos and Lil Yachty, was released on March 2, 2018.[8] The music video was released on May 22, 2018.[9]

Pitchfork | 6.5/10[20] |
Evil Genius received generally positive reviews from critics. Evan Rytlewski of Pitchfork generally praised the album, giving it a 6.5 out of 10, but noted that although 'it's one of his most considered and carefully curated projects, Gucci plays it uncharacteristically safe for most of it.'[21] Aaron Williams of Uproxx praised Gucci's effort, saying that 'On his latest project, Gucci Mane may not break much new ground, but he's reached the point in his career where he doesn't really need to, because he already has.'[22]
Commercial performance[edit]
Evil Genius debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 51,000 album-equivalent units (with 5,000 in traditional album sales) in its first week, becoming Gucci Mane's fifth top-ten album on the chart.[23]
