Freddie Gibbs - Playa

According to Pitchform Media, “Guys like Freddie Gibbs are saving rap”,  and this highly anticipated debut 12” from the buzzed about Gary, Indiana emcee finally sees the light of day on Innovative Leisure, alongside edits and remixes from L.A.’s Capski, Fools Gold stalwarts Trackademicks, Mexicans With Guns aka Ernesto Gonzales, and Chicago leftfield beats veteran Maker. An eclectic set of tracks which create a futuristic, fresh and new canvas for Freddie Gibbs’ witty and sharp street lyricism. Inspired by rappers like UGK, The Geto Boys and 2Pac, Gibbs rhymes about the ups and downs of ghetto life facing urban youth. He broke out last year by giving away three critically acclaimed mixtapes, and is the first ever unsigned artist to grace the cover of XXL magazine and LA Weekly. “Freddie  Gibbs  is the  one rapper  I would put money on right  now.” – The New Yorker.
