The countdown has begun. After serving seven months of a one-year sentence for violating terms of his probation related to a 2005 assault conviction, sources say Gucci Mane is set to be released May 12.

Despite being locked up, Gucci Mane (born Radric Davis) has still kept his business at the forefront. He recently announced the official launch of 1017 Brick Squad Records, which will house new projects from himself, Waka Flocka Flame and OJ Da Juiceman.

Gucci Mane also fired his management team, So Icey/Mizay Entertainment, a company helmed by Waka's mother, Debra Antney.
