    It’s an incredibly tight record packed with stellar performances, production and presence throughout. The blood, sweat and tears of hip-hop run through the album, but Gibbs has once again redefined what that means.

    ‘Alfredo’ excels on every front, a record that fuses a thirst for fresh innovation with a depth of love for hip-hop and rap music that is almost unparalleled. Pretty much an instant classic, it’s the sound of Freddie Gibbs finally bursting free, working with tour de force production to surge past expectations and claim his place at the absolute pinnacle.

    Alfredo is a master class in rap — 35 minutes of cutthroat bars that feel like 15, leaving you hungry for another course.

    Gibbs and Alc show no signs of allowing the credits to roll.

    Gibbs skates over these beats, effortlessly gliding in and out of the pocket. Even the moments of stark contrast feel natural.

    Headier and more reflective than that 2018 release yet laced with some drums with churn and bump beneath Gibbs' double-time wit, it reinforces the reputations of both artists in the hip-hop underworld.

    Gibbs is a masterful curator who knows who to match his flows with, like on God is Perfect and Look at Me, splicing soul loops, movie clips, and inventive beats etched into his gruff vocals. The beats are an attraction in itself, but make no mistake: they wouldn't be as good if Gibbs weren't behind the mic spitting his poetic yet matter-of-fact observations.

Definitely takes me back to the late 90's early 2000's with it's sound. The album is short without the filler and has quality lyricism throughout. It also is arguably The Alchemists best work. Expand

    Excellent album. Production is so nice, and summery, especially on "Something to rap about", which is my favorite track on the album. AlthoughExcellent album. Production is so nice, and summery, especially on "Something to rap about", which is my favorite track on the album. Although Freddie raps about what he usually does, this still is an excellent album, and it's not so long that you get bored. I really don't have much to say about this record, it is excellent and one of the best albums to come out this year. Hope more collaborations between Freddie and The Alchemist will come soon. Expand
