Though the 1017 empire isn't what it once was, Gucci Mane has been steadily trying to establish it as the leading record label in trap music. A few artists were signed and went away while others demanded to be released from their contract. Most recently, he announced the signing of Ola Runt, the first Atlanta native signed to 1017 Eskimo.
Ola Runt just dropped off his latest project, Beggin For A Body this week. He's been steadily getting ready for its release over the past few weeks with the release of several singles such as "Dead Dock." Beggin For A Body is sixteen tracks in total with appearances from Gucci Mane, Trouble, Young Scooter, Nefew, and 40 Henxhman.
