colored vinyl version with alternate cover - Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist have reunited, gifting rap fans with a new project from their feted partnership.
A rapper who continually switches it up, last year’s ‘You Only Die 1nce’ was a major league moment, a display of Freddie’s gravitas. ‘Alfredo 2’ takes Freddie Gibbs back to his roots, a sequel to his Alchemist-propelled 2020 ‘Alfredo’. One of the loftiest moments in either artist’s catalogue, there’s simply a sense of magic to this partnership – and this sequel doesn’t disappoint. It's a record that feels intrinsically strong from start to finale, little is left to waste here. 14 songs and 48 minutes, it’s a taut, finessed project, but also of incredible depth. ‘Alfredo 2’ is a celebration of the art, a platform of excellence. Is it better than the original? Time will tell – ‘Alfredo’ was a terrific time-and-place moment, but sometimes sequels will out-strip the original.
