Relistening to Gucci's discography is gonna really take me a different but here is a good place to start I guess. It is rarely mentioned but Chicken Talk 2 is a quiet, sufficient addition to Gucci's discography. Nothing really stands out outside of I'm A Dog (feat.

Surprisingly decent but far from memorable or anything. The lead single is solid and there other good songs on here. 25 Reasons is one of her more underrated cuts. The production is serviceable (as is her own performance). Still a bit too long but far from a 112 or Jagged Edge album.
