I didn’t realize how much I missed Freddie Gibbs until this very moment.

Doesn’t it feel like Freddie Gibbs was blackballed for a few months? After releasing a series of solid projects, collaborations, singles, and memorable tweets, he seemed to fade from the scene, popping up only to joke about DJ Akademiks or an NBA player air-balling a shot. Luckily, tonight—on Halloween—Freddie Gibbs will return with his album You Only Die 1nce. To give us a preview, he just dropped the single “On The Set.”

“On The Set” is driven by a beat featuring haunting, lonely vibes. Over it, Freddie Gibbs uses a raw, unfiltered style to reflect on his admiration for Diddy before recent controversies, his thoughts on retiring from rap, his rise from Gary, Indiana, and his complicated, materialistic connection with a woman he’s semi-interested in. The track stands out for its gritty authenticity, evoking a rawness rarely seen in today’s music.
