Gucci Mane Mixtape List

[Jessia Adachi]

TheGucci/Hamilton comparisons are plenty apt, as they speak to the disconnect between work-like-big-media blogs and actual magazines and the disconnect the bloggers/editors of said blogs/mags have with most rap fans.

hey i need to find a song where there is gucci mane sitting around with 4 or 5 other guys and he is the second one to rap on the song. It was a music video about 1 year ago and is this group that has gucci mane in it.

The iconic Mexican singer-songwriter is set to launch the second leg of his Volver tour in Phoenix. A six-time Grammy nominee, the 65-year-old entertainer was inducted to the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame in 1996. He plays Phoenix a week before releasing "Los Duo," an album of duets, including Juanes, Alejandra Guzman and Fifth Harmony.

In her more inspired moments, Nika Roza Danilova sounds a bit like Florence Welch's weird, experimental sister raised on Siouxsie and the Banshees. She and her bandmates are touring a fifth album, "Taiga," on which they've softened a few of the edges and reined in a few of the quirks without abandoning the qualities that made their music stand out in the first place.

These Mississippi rockers are touring a great new album called "Rip This" on which they effectively blur the lines between bluesy garage-rock, '90s power-pop of the sort Redd Kross and Superdrag were doing and flashes of early '70s arena-rock that may remind you of the Datsuns' spin on stoner-rock. Which is to say it rocks. And it probably rocks with more abandon live.

Led by two brothers from North Carolina, these folk-rock revivalists hit the mainstream in 2009 with "I and Love and You," which topped a list of albums of the year at Paste, the magazine most likely to appreciate that sort of effort. They also shared the stage with Bob Dylan and Mumford & Sons in that cross-generational hootenanny at the 2011 Grammy Awards that did more for Mumford & Sons' career trajectory than theirs or Dylan's. They're here in continued support of 2013's "Magpie and the Dandelion."

There's a gruffness to this Austin roots-rock veteran's raspy baritone that makes it hard to argue when reviewers reach for Tom Waits as an easy frame of reference. But once you get to know his music, that comparison recedes and all you hear is Graham, whose voice has only gotten that much more distinct along the road to "Garage Sale," his latest release. Highlights of the album range from "Unafraid," the soulful opener, to the rollicking "Where Were Yr Friends?," which swaggers like the Rolling Stones gone blues-punk.

Lift your spirits at this three-day festival of gospel music. Musical artists such as the Booth Brothers, the Hoppers, Guy Penrod, the Martins and Blackwood Brothers will perform. Comedian Ken Davis will perform Wednesday.

These Warped Tour veterans rock the hooks like Smoking Popes with a little more power-pop in their step on "My Dinosaur Life" and "Go," which hit the streets in 2010 and 2012 respectively. At times, the cracks in Justin Pierre's upper register place them closer to Ben Folds territory, effectively underscoring the vulnerability of the lyrics.

There were elements of everything from "Rumours"-era Fleetwood Mac to old spaghetti Western soundtracks and bluegrass with plenty of low-end guitar twang filtered through cavernous levels of reverb on "Tell Me," produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. And last year's "Make My Heart Sing," co-produced by Mayfield and her husband, Jesse Newport, more than lived up to the promise of that stunning breakthrough.

These teenage sisters from Indianapolis are touring the States in support of a haunted collection of melodic folk-pop songs called "Fumes," their second full-length effort on Asthmatic Kitty, Sufjan Stevens' label. It's an intimate affair, inspiring PopMatters to weigh in with "sometimes it even sounds like the girls are praying in the sanctuary of a church even though there is nothing particularly spiritual or religious going on."

The R&B star topped the Hot 100 with his second single, "So Sick," in 2006. Subsequent hits include the platinum singles "Closer," "Miss Independent," "Mad" and 2012's "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)." His latest Top 40 appearance was last year's "Time of Our Lives" with Pitbull.

These California rockers have described their sound as "beach goth," and there is a bit of film-noir moodiness shrouding the reverb of those surf guitars on last year's "Chinese Fountain." The pining vocals definitely complement the mood of highlights as evocative as "Purgatory Drive" and "Magnificent Sadness." And when they step outside their comfort zone, speak-singing lyrics as loopy as "The Internet is bigger than Jesus and John Lennon" over a funky guitar groove that sounds like the Ting Tings gone yacht-rock? That's good, too.

Marilyn Manson on Friday the 13th? Scary. Manson may not shock and awe the PTA the way he used to, but his tours remain an awe-inspiring freak show. This is an artist whose debut was originally named "The Manson Family Album," then retitled "Portrait of an American Family," as though a few words between "Manson" and "Family" would somehow dull the impact. Manson and his minions really rocked the PTA, though, with "Antichrist Superstar," a 1996 release that hit the charts at No. 3 and caught the attention of Sen. Joe Lieberman, who saw this Manson family as "the sickest group ever promoted by a mainstream record company." Nearly 20 years later, the Antichrist Superstar on is tour in support of a great new album, the just-released "The Pale Emperor."

San Francisco indie-rockers Meric Long and Logan Kroeber arrive in support of the just-released "Individ," which finds them playing once more to the same strengths that have served them well on such career-defining highs as 2008's "Visiter" and 2013's "Carrier." As the writer reviewing the album for Pitchfork noted, "By now they have honed their own distinct language." And they speak it rather fluently on this new album.

When Jim James of My Morning Jacket invited them out as an opening act in spring 2004, these psychedelic pop revivalists had yet to play more than a short drive outside Philadelphia. They get around more these days, big enough to play two shows in one night at the hippest club in town in continued support of 2013's "B-Room." Magnet said the album "might be Dr. Dog's career-defining work," but there are several other strong contenders for that title. If you're going, don't miss Hanni El Khatib in the opening slot.

This Maryland rapper titled his first mixtape "Young, Broke and Infamous." But hearing him rap his way with speed and confidence through the automythology of last year's "Under Pressure," his first official studio release, it sure doesn't sound like the work of a man who plans on being broke much longer. Consider the following rave from RapReviews.com: "When nostalgic old-timers lament the golden age of hip-hop, for those championing our current era, Under Pressure is the album to point to."

Seger's most extensive tour since 2007 takes it title from "Ride Out," the singer's new album, which hit the charts at No. 3, his highest debut ever. In addition to six originals, "Ride Out" features Seger's take on intriguing cover choices, from Steve Earle ("The Devil's Right Hand") to "California Stars," a song that came about when Wilco added music to a set of Woody Guthrie lyrics.

A swampy, stompy one-man blues explosion based in Austin, Biram likes to call his blend of backwoods blues and porch-front country "lo-fi mojo." He even titled his third album that. And he's still lo-fi after all these years. On 2011's classic "Bad Ingredients," Biram memorably hollered "I killed a chicken last night" with conviction. And his new album, "Nothin' But Blood," finds Biram playing to those scenery-chewing strengths on such obvious highlights as "Alcohol Blues" and "I'm Troubled."

This Grammy-winning jazz musician established her distinctive style on the "Blue Light 'til Dawn" album by incorporating elements of blues, folk, funk and R&B. She even brings some country to the table. A BBC Music reviewer praised 2012's "Another Country," her latest release, as "an album that radiates warmth. Not just the warmth of southern seas and skies, but the human warmth that beams directly out of Ms. Wilson's heaving heart."

Brandon Decker recorded his fifth album, "Patsy," at WaveLab Recording Studio in Tucson, whose previous clients include Calexico, Neko Case, Amos Lee, DeVotchKa and Iron & Wine, with an assortment of Tucson musicians, including Joe Novelli of Sergio Mendoza y la Orkestra and Ryan Allfred of Calexico. The Sedona singer-songwriter sees the album as a huge leap forward over 2013's "Slider." "We're always evolving," Decker says. "At least hopefully we are." And get there early. There are three great local openers: Field Tripp, the Haymarket Squares and the Through & Through Gospel Review.

It's been a minute now since Cursive followed "Happy Hollow," one of modern rock's best concept albums, with "Mama, I'm Swollen," an equally inspired meditation on the art of turning 30. And their latest effort, "I Am Gemini," is as conceptual as any Cursive album. The central characters, as the title suggests, are twins. Separated at birth, one brother grows up good, the other ... if not evil, definitely troubled. "An orphan, thrown out to the wolves; not prodigal, far worse," as Tim Kasher sings in the opening track, a rollicking, waltz-time ballad.

These Ohio rockers are touring in support of "Runners in the Nerved World," an album of yearning, emotional indie-pop songs that Steve Ciolek delivers in an aching upper register that's sure to make some listeners think of Built to Spill, whose records were also produced by Phil Ek. It's a more refined, atmospheric approach than they took on their more punkish previous recordings.

These California indie-rockers have been working on building a buzz since "Hang Me Up to Dry" became their first Top 40 entry on Billboard's alternative-songs chart in 2007. Subsequent modern-rock-radio hits include "Something Is Not Right With Me," "Audience," "Louder Than Ever," "Miracle Mile" and last year's "All This Could Be Yours." They're touring in support of last year's "Hold My Home."
