Asian Doll finds a new home at 1017 Records.

Gucci Mane’s not only one of the most influential artists of our time but he’s also helped introduce new artist to the world. Whether it’s as a mentor, a collaborator or a label head, he always lends younger artist some guidance in order for them to maneuver through the cut throat industry. A co-sign from Gucci Mane can help an budding artists career breakthrough into the mainstream. 1017 Records was once home to some of the biggest artists in the game until Gucci was locked up in 2014. After getting out, he’s rebuilt the label and signed on new artists like Ralo, Hoodrich Pablo Juan and more. Today, he reveals that he's signed on his first female act.

Asian Doll is now the first female act to sign to Gucci Mane's 1017 Records. Both she and 1017 shared the news on social media. 1017 Records current roster is stacked with a lot of promising young talent so it seems as if Asian Doll is a great fit for the label. 

"IM THE 1st EVER FEMALE ARTIST TO SIGN WITH @gucci1017," she wrote, "I’m Officially 1017."

Gucci Mane has a great way of spotting great talents and there's no doubt that with his guidance, Asian Doll will dominate the rap game. Hopefully, we'll be hearing a collaboration soon as well as a new project from the young rapper.
