If you're a hip hop head then you already know what time it is with this EP. Freddie Gibbs' "Str8 Killa" is a modern gangster rap classic. Hailing from Gary, Indiana Freddie Gibbs is one of the sickest and most skilled MC's around today that is with that hard ass gangster style. Gangster Gibbs has a signature flow, super fast ripping through every line with a bit of southern accent mixed in for good measure. At times Freddie Gibbs reminds me of Kool G Rap and at times he reminds me of Bun B and UGK. This EP is only 8 tracks and each one bumps ridiculously hard with deep bass lines and unique flows.
Released by the Alchemist's DECON Records, this is a sweet looking picture disc 12". The yellow and red pops on the black vinyl and this looks fucking sweet. Why don't punk and hardcore bands release more picture discs? Now that I think of it, out of all the records I own, a very small percentage of them are picture discs.
"Player haters fuck em, record label fuck em, radio fuck em, hoe my shit still be bumpin!"
Check out the video for "National Anthem", starring Freddie Gibbs as a runaway slave? Oh shit!
Because picture discs are awkward as hell man. They don't usually have a proper sleeve which means it messes with my storage. Saying that this one works!! Is that just a plastic bag it's in?
