Country singer Oliver Anthony's viral anti-government, anti-welfare track "Rich Men North Of Richmond" has made him an overnight superstar.

He is as independent as an artist can be.  But Gucci Mane wants to change that.

"Aye fam I need y'all help on this one. I'm trying to sing these guys as my first county artists to 1017!!! I need the info asap,"  Gucci typed.

Gucci being from very much south of Richmond could work in his favor here.  However, if Anthony learns of the sky-high incarceration rate among Gucci's artists, he'd probably reject that 1017 chain.
