The rapper chronicles experiences on latest song taken from his new album You Only Live 1nce.
Freddie Gibbs (real name Freddie Tipton) is one of the last remaining genuine rappers in the game and continues to convey authentic ruminations through a cascade of incredible verses.
Having collaborated with top tier artists such as Kanye West and Madlib, he continues to go from strength to strength and is considered a favourite by many. Simply listening to his rhyme schemes, you’ll understand why he is far from a paradigmatic rapper.
What You Need To Know
It was released alongside his late October album You Only Die 1nce, but officially dropped on 1st November.
Ruthless tracks Gibbs’ mental toughness and the resilience he has gained throughout his life.
He grew up in an area with high crime rates and was himself arrested for theft and gun-related charges.
Through a succession of anecdotal yarns, Freddie chronicles both pain and gratefulness in a skillful yet concise manner. His flow and written game are especially powerful here, evident in his ability to wax lyrical with ease.
Production by Lambo and Pops is notably foundational, teeing up the rapper’s style and rhapsodic prowess. Geared towards a plucky, simple acoustic-led vibe, its use enhances the artist’s delivery, ultimately paying off.
Verdict
It is hard to believe that Tipton hasn’t had a top 100 song of his own. Despite his catalog being an indelible component within hip-hop, respect for him remains within the community and is rarely appreciated by alternate fandoms.
It is a triumphant piece of music that elevates the artist further through a change of pace. However, the release is significant in other ways. His consistency and musical quality never dip and remain in a thriving place, one that aficionados of the genre love.
