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.
What movies have Freddie Gibbs been in?
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
