Freddie Gibbs drops a freestyle for XXL's Freshman 10 for 2010... Gangsta Gibbs is definitely a dude to look out for! Straight Killa No Filla coming soon.
Here's a track from Rek's recently released mixtape, In Between The Lines, called "God Damn". This track was produced by Statik Selektah and features Freddie Gibbs. I was over at DJ Skee's studio the night Freddie dropped this verse... As usual, Gangsta Gibbs kills it! You can download it here.
Freddie Gibbs stopped by Thisis50 and premiered a new track called "This is Freddie" over a DJ Premier production. You can download the track as well here. You can peep Gangsta Gibbs interview with Thisis50 down below where he talks about how he got into music, his deal with Interscope, his relationship with 50 Cent and more. Look for a verse from Freddie on the upcoming Tradition mixtape!
Gangsta Gibbs rocks over one of my favorite instrumentals of all time "'93 'til Infinity" for this video for YRB TV.
Freddie Gibbs told us “I used to get money on Sutter Ave (flatbush)” so we brought him out to a rooftop in Bushwick Brooklyn to do an exclusive performance of him flipping the classic “‘93 ‘Til Infinity” instrumental for his “How We Do” record.
VIDEO: FREDDIE GIBBS & PILL - WOMB TO THE TOMB (LIVE)
Here's a live video, courtesy of The Smoking Section, of Freddie Gibbs & Pill performing their track "Womb To The Tomb". Hopefully, I will be in the sutdio with Gangsta Gibbs tonight, recording a track for the upcoming Tradition mixtape... I will keep you guys posted.
Here's a video for a new track from Gangsta Gibbs and Mikkey Halsted called "On My Own" which was produced by Maja 7th. Look for Freddie and Mikkey to perform this tonight at The Leaders of The New Cool event with Young De, El Prez, and Diz Gibran.
"I know I’ve been talking about this record for a while, and now we’re finally ready to unleash the visual to the world. This is the first official release from the Maja 7th & FSD release, The Breakout, which is due out in February.
Shot and edited by Brandon “N2ition” Riley, we filmed this video in Chicago and Gary, IN, to highlight the vivid imagery within these two cities, which are only a hop, skip and a jump away from eachother. This clip really brought these two cities to life."
2Dopeboyz put together this mini EP of a few previously released DJ-free tracks, as well as a previously unreleased track Freddie had forgotten he’d even done. The homey, Josh The Goon, produced the "Pearly Gates" track. You can download the EP here.

XV FT. FREDDIE GIBBS AND SHAWN CHRYSTOPHER - ME, YOU
Freddie Gibbs has been heating up the internet the last few days... Here's another track he did with XV and Shawn Chrystopher for DJ Benzi’s upcoming Everybody’s Nobody (We Go the Remix) project called "Me, You."
Freddie goes in over Statik Selektah's beat for "Stick 2 The Script" and gives us a new track called "Crushin' Feelings".... From the looks of things, people are gonna get upset! I was in the studio with Gibbs the day he recorded this, and also heard a verse he did for another track for Statik. Look for Freddie's upcoming mixtape, Str8 Killa No Filla.
I threw my tape out on the streets and watch my tape liftoff/ Without a verse from Weezy, Kanye or the fake Rick Ross/ Fuck a co-sign I hold mine close to the hip/ Crushin’ feelins leavin’ niggas on some emotional shit…
Drew posted Freddie Gibb's new mixtape "The Labels Tryin' To Kill Me" a few days ago, here's a hilarious SkeeTV infomercial that was put together in promotion of Freddie Gibbs' mixtape. This is too funny.
DOWNLOAD : FREDDIE GIBBS - THE LABELS TRYIN' TO KILL ME
DJ Skee and The Smoking Section present: Freddie Gibbs - The Labels Tryin' To Kill Me. A mixtape compiled of over 80 of Freddie's hottest verses and freestyles. Shout out to the homey Josh The Goon, who put me on the Freddie Gibbs and handled some of the production on this mixtape. Download The Labels Trying To Kill Mehere.
A mix of Fred’s best verses and freestyles chopped and mixed back to back to back, not 80 full tracks as the tracklisting would have you to believe. There’s also seven previously unheard tracks included in there, making it more than worthy. Consider it collector’s item as well as a barometer to measure the amount of raw talent the man entered the game with and how far he just keeps getting better. No need for fast-forward buttons or attempting to figure out what you heard before. DJ Skee is back in the driver’s seat and he lets Gangsta Gibbs ride out as you should the tape. Let’s get it!
VIDEO: FREDDIE GIBBS - LABELS TRYIN' TO KILL ME INFOMERICAL
Skee Music presents Freddie Gibbs: The Labels Tryin To Kill Me, over 80 tracks of free music from Freddie Gibbs in the Extended Internet Edition. Check out the informercial and video for this project, and be sure to download the mixtape tomorrow.
