Influenced by 2Pac's
and
Tupac Shakur's
gangster rap,
Indiana's rapper Freddie Gibbs (Fredrick Tipton) established himself as a
late purveyor of the genre with the mixtapes
The Miseducation (2009),
Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik (2009), produced by Speakerbomb, and perhaps his most creative recording,
Str8 Killa No Filla (2010),
Cold Day in Hell (2011) and
Baby Face Killa (2012).
He tried in vain to upgrade himself to more creative singer-songwriter
on ESGN (2013).
His most accomplished albums were
two collaborations,
Pinata (Madlib Invazion, 2014) with
Madlib
and
The Tonite Show (2014) with DJ Fresh.
Gibbs teamed up again with producer Speakerbomb for
Shadow of a Doubt (2015)
and
You Only Live 2wice (2017),
two albums that display
his rather conservative approach to rapping and a passion for trap beats while still relishing boom bap beats.
Ditto for the mixtape Freddie (2018).
The new collaborations (again superior to his solo albums) were:
Fetti (2018) with Curren$y and the Alchemist (mainly an effort by the latter),
Bandana (2019) again with Madlib,
and Alfredo (2020) with The Alchemist, that features one of his most elegant performances.
