[Video + Tracks] Freddie Gibbs

Freddie Gibbs has put out two high caliber mix-tapes already this year. For a kid who use to listen almost entirely to rap, it takes an impressive performance to get me interested these days. Gibbs has a rawness that seems comical for a white kid from New England to write about, but trust me, it's there. If you have Google skills I encourage you to track down his mixtapes, The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs and Midwestganstaboxframecadillacmuzic. Above Yours Truly gives us a candid look at the Gary, Indiana rapper and below Gibbs gets after it on two of my favorite tracks.
