Producer Zaytoven says he's used to Gucci Mane being incarcerated so the two of them communicating about music over the phone isn't something new, but he feels that since his recent incarceration Gucci's writing has become more lyrical although he still has his trap music mentality.
"We stay working, he calls me from jail with new raps all the time. He raps them to me, and I tell him to leave it on my voicemail, so I could hear it over and over again. He's still doing his shining and iced-out thing, but the raps now got more lyrical, he's in jail, so he's really putting more thoughts in his raps, more lyrical content. He's coming with a whole lot of different ideas. Rather than just party music or trap music, he's coming with a lot of strong ideas and lyrical content in his stuff. It gives him a chance to really listen to what he's saying, and he's putting his words together in a different way without no beat."
Zaytoven states that although the two of them come up with many ideas over the phone, they almost forget them once he is released because once in the studio they come up with more ideas greater than the ones created before.
"We're working as if he was out. The songs he writes, I have the track sitting and waiting on him when he gets out. Sometimes during our phone calls, I play him my ideas for a track or a hook I got so he could be writing and getting ideas for it. The crazy thing is, when he gets out and comes to the studio, we do something all brand-new. We almost forget about what we been doing while he's in jail."
Gucci Mane was sentenced to a year just before the release of his album The State vs. Radric Davis which dropped late last year. He is already finished with the follow up album titled The State vs. Radric Davis: The Appeal which will drop in spring and plans to record another album set to release December of this year titled The State vs. Radric Davis: The Verdict.
