By some sort of dark magic, Gucci Mane is still releasing mixtapes while he’s behind bars. Okay, it’s not so much magic as him stockpiling a bunch of tracks before he went upstate. It’s a tried and true hustle used by many a jailed rapper.
While LaFlare is relegated to the struggle mixtape circuit, we hunted down 16 rappers who promoted albums from jail. It’s quite a feat considering you can’t really promote an album from the comfy confines of the penitentiary.
