Freddie Gibbs is just a stones throw away over in Gary, IN, so I had to show him some love. He’s definitely one of my favorite new guys (he’s new to me) doing it now. Smoking Section just dropped his mixtape with DJ Skee today entitled, Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. A title no one has been bold enough to reinterpret since 1994. I’m definitely keeping my eye on this guy [II].
Freddie Gibbs – Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik
As fresh on the scene as his name may seem, Freddie Gibbs is not a newcomer by any means. After a less than fruitful stint with Interscope, Gibbs’ name still rings bells with industry cats, but the listening public isn’t wasn’t aware (emphasis on the past tense). The past few months have seen the Gary-raised rapper regrouping & taking control of the direction of his career, making it his task to make sure that people knew his name & skills. At this point and after the Miseducation…tape, I think it’s safe to say he has the listening ear of many and the potential to gain even more fans.
Backed by DJ Skee, midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik is another notable feather in his fitted. With no further adieu, download, listen & enjoy.
