Gleesh

Gleesh is a mixtape by American rapper Fat Trel released on April 1, 2014 by Maybach Music Group. A previously released single, "She Fell In Love" was included in the release.

Release and promotion
"She Fell In Love", released as a single five months earlier, was included on the mixtape and would be its only single.

A music video for "She Fell In Love" was released a month before the mixtape itself. A video for "Rich As Fuck" was released two weeks after the mixtape, a video for "Walkin Thru My Hood" was released in October, a video for "Rest In Peace" was released the following January, and a video for "What We Doing" was released in March, a year after the first video.

The song "Fresh" contains samples from "Dirty Ol' Man" by The Three Degrees.

Critical reception
Gleesh received mixed reviews from music critics. BET's Jake Rohn praised the final track ("a rare showing of his raw and emotional side") but concluded that "much of the tape is simply another good effort for him". XXL's Max Goldberg wrote that "he doesn’t stray far from his comfort zone ... his lyrics aren’t mind blowing and the topics don’t vary much" but while "the mixtape definitely lags in some places" it's "as enjoyable as its cover is funny".

Controversy
The cover artwork was replaced two weeks after the mixtape was released. The original artwork featured publicity photos for the television series Glee photoshopped to make the actresses appear to be covered in cum. Fat Trel was unapologetic but within days of receiving complaints the cover was replaced with a red monochrome print of his own face.
