Gucci Mane Signs 2 Female Rappers: “We Need More Of Them”
Gucci Mane Says “We Need More Female Rappers In The Game”
Gucci Mane recently had an interview with XXL where he talked about his fresh signings to The New 1017, all of whom make appearances on the label’s compilation album, Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer. He also talked about the need for more female rappers in the industry.
Gucci revealed that he’s happy to bring K Shiday and Enchanting, whom he refers to as his So Icy Girlz, into the spotlight. The Atlanta rapper already has a couple male rappers, including Pooh Shiesty, Big Scarr and Foogiano.
“We need more female rappers in the game. I had a female artist one time, right. My whole thing is I’m not gonna just replace no artist. I’m gonna give female artists a chance, you get what I’m saying? I’m embracing the female artist, like, she hard? I’m f*ckin’ with it,” he said.

“It ain’t gonna be like, I’m starting my label and this gonna be my token female artist. No.” While he may call K Shiday and Enchating his So Icy Girlz, that doesn’t mean they operate as a duo.
“I want some So Icy Boyz,” he explains, ‘cause whoever I sign naturally we gonna call ourselves the So Icy Boyz. That’s natural. So my whole thing was I’ma sign two dope females and just off the drip I’m naturally gonna call them the So Icy Girlz, but they’re solo artists, they’re not a group.”
“It’s like me, Foogiano, Pooh and Scarr. We all solo artists but we’re the So Icy Boyz. So, I wanted to start that type of movement with females, you know what I’m saying? Empower them and boss them up.”
