Proudly hailing from the eastside of Gary, Indiana, the ever thriving gangster-rapper Freddie Gibbs relates real experiences of growing up in a deteriorating and abandoned black Midwestern America, play heavily on his conscious and introspective lyrical content. After relocating to L.A., Gibbs befriended acclaimed break producer Madlib (Quasimoto, Madvillain, Jaylib, The Loot Pack), and together as MadGibbs the duo released the well-received Piñata (March 2014), bridging the gap between the street and underground. Pitchfork claims, “it doesn’t matter if Gibbs and Madlib were once considered artists playing to different audiences — united in their uncompromising, independent-as-fuck visions, they put together something hardcore hip-hop heads on both sides should feel.” Gibbs is all about giving back and performing to his grass-roots fanbase, drawing from a large palette of mixtapes, studio albums, EPs, and collaborations which are all leading to the highly anticipated 2015 release of Lifestyles of the Insane.
