As originally published by Calum Slingerland on
Exclaim!After hinting at the arrival of new material earlier in the day,
Freddie Gibbs has delivered the new album
Freddie, and you can hear the entire thing right now.
Arriving through
ESGN/EMPIRE,
Freddie runs 10 tracks in length and follows Gibbs' 2017 EP
You Only Live 2wice. The effort features appearance from West Coast MC 03 Greedo and Cassie Jo Craig, in addition to a feature from Gibbs' daughter, Irie Jane Gibbs.
Earlier Thursday (June 21), Gibbs delivered news of the imminent release via a humorous teaser that had some listeners wondering if
Freddie would lean more towards R&B. While it certainly doesn't sound like the aforementioned album trailer, it features plenty of Gibbs' technically sound, aggressive delivery.
Take in all of
Freddie below, where you'll also find the album's trailer in addition to its Teddy Pendergrass-inspired front and back covers.
