Before he dropped the book, which debuted at No. 4 on The New York Times bestseller list, Gucci Mane revealed that he had considered writing a screenplay at the suggestion of Harmony Kornine, who directed Gucci in Spring Breakers.

Gucci Mane announced in December the title of his new solo album will be The Evil Genius. The rapper released his most recent record El Gato: The Human Glacier that same month.
