Another Gucci Mane album, his 8th this year, featuring some heavy street rappers: Trap House 5Trap House 5, or TH5, as Gwop abbreviates it on the cover. It looks as if rapper Gucci Mane did a little reading in his life, cuz Trap House 5 sounds to me like Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s famous novel "Slaughter House 5". In the novel, British and American air forces bombed the city of Dresden, and the only ones remaining alive were the refugees (many of them British and American) that were carefully deposited by the Germans in an underground bunker so they'd be eliminated with toxic gas. The bunker, a torture location, became a safe haven because of the Allied unexpected assault over the capital of German Saxony. Ill, toxic things were "dealt" there, but somehow, people found in the underground bunker, in an ineffable twist, the means to "making it" out alive.

Gucci must have thought this through, because the trap house is the exact same thing. A bad place where toxins are dealt, a place that offers the means to make it. Only making it no longer implies surviving, but setting off on that road to riches. We gotta say it out loud: Gucci's become rather sly. First three very symbolic albums ("Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner"), then "Trap House 5"! If only he'd keep things this encoded, we'd make it our no. 1 priority to spread out every piece of info about this Georgia rapper.

Speaking of Georgia, other Atlanta artists are on this mixtape: Young Thug and Peewee Longway. Guest appearance from Chicago's Chief Keef. You're gonna adore this one, I'm telling you! Here's "No One Else", a heavy lyrical bomb that'll surely shake your intellectual bunker. BOOM!
