Last night, Freddie Gibbs came through with his first official follow-up to Freddie, a classy album produced entirely by The Alchemist boasting the decadent title of Alfredo. As expected the album was absolutely brimming with bars from its leading man, who has consistently proven himself to be among the game's best lyricists by a wide margin; in fact, he might be the most underappreciated artist of this modern era, an unwavering emcee consistently one-upping himself in every way.
While there are plenty of highlights to be found throughout Alfredo, it's hard to deny the instantaneous appeal of seeing Tyler, The Creator swerve back into his rap lane -- especially when he remains so effortless with it. Following a noble performance on Westside Gunn's Pray For Paris, The Creator stands tall alongside Gibbs, who casts an imposing shadow in the best of times. Together they make a solid pair, taking to Alc's laid-back jam session for their idea of a good time.
Be sure to check out Alfredo in full, as it's surely destined to stand as one of the year's best. Curious listeners and longtime Gibbs loyalists can do so right here.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
I gotta move cautious cause n***s malicious
They come from the trenches
I used to be a Goblin under them bridges
Now I'm a businessman
I started getting mula as young and now I got bigger hands
To hold them, if I got too much on me, I know my n***s can
