Happy birthday to Freddie Gibbs, who turns 44 today.
In a 2013 Rolling Stone interview, Madlib was asked what drew him to
@FreddieGibbs. He said it was hard to put into words, but that he saw in Gibbs a new version of 2Pac. Madlib shared, “he’s capable of doing everything, but he’s interested in being original…” The pair has since released two albums together—‘Piñata’ (2014) and ‘Bandana’ (2019), with a third album, ‘Montana,’ in the works.
