These highs push Ice Daddy into the upper echelon of Gucci's post-2015 efforts, joining 2017's Mr. In addition to the aforementioned Pooh Shiesty cuts, he floods "Fold Dat Money Up" with creeping dread and hypnotic intensity transforms the already evil Freddy Kreuger lullaby "Gucci Coming 4 You" into something more menacing with a cacophony of gun cocks and gifts Gucci with his best bid for a mainstream crossover hit on the heroic "Bust Down," a horn-packed showstopper with an addictive singalong chorus.
While each producer on the project does a fine job - Southside, Zaytoven, and 30 Roc deliver standouts - Mike WILL Made-It handily takes the crown for the most booming thrills. Elsewhere, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz, Young Dolph, E-40, Project Pat, and Peewee Longway drop by to lend a verse or two, but Gucci keeps all eyes on him with an entertaining balance of exaggerated boasts and clever bon mots.

In the years between solo albums, ever-prolific Atlanta trap godfather Gucci Mane took the time to foster his 1017 label roster, issuing a pair of 2020 compilations under the So Icy banner.
