Freddie Gibbs Has Four Albums In The Works

by

Freddie Gibbs is proving to have an overwhelmingly successful career in the rap game. As he ventures off into other creative endeavors such as acting, music has always been his main focus.

He’s apparently working on four different projects right now. The Indiana native made the announcement in a recent lengthy interview with XXL.

“Alchemist & Madlib ain’t goin’ nowhere, keep that in mind. Me and Boi-1da in the studio now, real heavy. I’m making the best music of my life, so it’s no reason to stop. And I’m the king of R&B, so I gotta do that [too],” he says in a part of the interview.

Of course, the “Crime Pays” rapper has full-length collaborations with both The Alchemist and Madlib in his discography. In 2014, he linked up with the Madvillain producer for Piñata. Five years later, the duo blessed fans with its follow-up, the 15-track Bandana.

In 2018, The Alchemist and Freddie linked up with Curren$y for a short, collaborative album, Fetti. The Indiana native and the decorated producer re-united in 2020 for a full-length release between just the two of them, Alfredo. They saw a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 2021 Grammy awards for their effort. However, Nas and Hit-Boy took the award home for the first album of their collaborative trilogy, King’s Disease.

Furthermore, the 40-year-old is still fresh off the release of his latest album, $oul $old $eperately. Serving as his fifth solo studio album, the project finds Gibbs making music with both his past and more recent sounds in one place.

Although he’s yet to make a full-length project with Boi-1da, the pair have collaborated in the past. Most recently, the Canadian producer has a production credit on “Space Rabbit”, off of $$$.

After implying that his 2022 album would be his final one, it’s certainly surprising to hear this news. “As of right now, I feel like I gave the world what it needed with $$$. I just wanna sit down and live life with my people…” he said during an AMA session on Twitter in October.

Diddy & King Combs Confirm New Albums For 2023

by

Diddy and King Combs both say that they will be releasing new albums in 2023. The father-and-son duo spoke about their upcoming music during a recent interview with Billboard.

As for Diddy, he remarked that he’s “dropping (new music) top of the year.”

He didn’t reveal any further information about the upcoming project. It will be his first studio album since 2006’s Press Play, and his fifth overall.

Elsewhere in their interview with Billboard, Diddy and King Combs discussed the late Kim Porter. Porter passed away back in 2018.

“She’s, like, my biggest fan,” King Combs recalled. “I’ve really been working and doing music since I was 16. Like my pops said, from the jump he wasn’t going to help me give me no producer help, writer help, because he didn’t want me to ever have to lean on him or depend on him.”

Diddy also reflected on watching King Combs build a career of his own: “I’m overwhelmed with joy because when he was like, 3 years old, for his birthday, he just wanted to be with his Daddy on tour. Before I would end the show he would break out in a tantrum and start crying unless he could get on the stage. So to see him chase his dream and to see all of the obstacles that he had to overcome without my help. And then him doing it, it’s just really mind-blowing. His mother has to be just so proud of him and I’m just so proud of him.”

The announcement for Diddy comes after the legendary artist released a collaboration with PartyNextDoor, titled “Sex in the Porsche.” The track serves as Diddy’s second single for his upcoming album. He released “Gotta Move On” featuring Bryson Tiller earlier this year.

As for King Combs, he recently released a new single with Kodak Black, “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.”
