Gucci Mane appeared on OJ da Juiceman's "Make Tha Trap Say Aye" and began working on various mixtapes. The official remix of "Freaky Gurl" featuring Ludacris and Lil' Kim was included on his 2007 commercial debut album Back to the Trap House. He also shot videos for the tracks Street Nigazzz and Pillz. The song peaked at number 12 on the Hot Rap Tracks, number 19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and at number 62 on the Hot 100. Hard To Kill included the hit single "Freaky Gurl". Disputes over the rights to this single caused a rift between the two artists. Despite not having the promotional roll-out of a major label artist, Gucci was also able to pull in respectable guest stars, including Bun B, Killer Mike, Lil Scrappy, Jody Breeze and Khujo of Goodie Mobb. The album creeped into the top 20 of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and landing at the top spot on the Billboard Heatseekers Album chart. Trap House may not have arrived with the fanfare of other LP’s from that time, but was considered a success for an independent artist. In 2005, Davis released his independent debut album entitled Trap House, which featured the single "Icy" with Young Jeezy. 5 2014–present: Multiple project releases from prisonĢ005–2006: Trap House and Hard to Kill.4 2013: Trap House III and The State Vs.1 2005–2006: Trap House and Hard to Kill.Ultimately deciding to form an alliance with the label that brought Khia to prominence, Gucci released a song, “Black Tee,” a response to Dem Franchize Boyz hit record, “White Tee,” as well as a collaboration with fellow rising local rapper Jeezy with “So Icy.” Securing a distribution deal with Tommy Boy Records, Gucci continued to work the underground while preparing for the release of his debut album, Trap House.

He later moved with his single mother to Atlanta in 1989, while he was 9-years-old. Since then he has been convicted of battery, assault, and numerous parole and probation violations, resulting in numerous jail sentences. In 2009, he served a year-long county jail sentence for violating probation for his 2005 aggravated assault conviction. While serving a one-month jail term for assault in late 2005, Davis was charged with murder, though the charges were later dropped after it was deemed an act of self-defense.
