no.3: Alfredo

My favorite new albums of the year (redesigned):
.
no.3
Artists: Freddie Gibbs x The Alchemist
Album: Alfredo
Top Track: “God is Perfect”
.
I can’t think of a more in synch rapper and producer combination. Freddie’s bars and The Alchemist’s beats flow effortlessly together. Pitchfork describes it’s sound as “Vintage luxury and faded textures”. I can’t think of a better description. Lyrically, Freddie plays with duality as well - as he references mob ties and social inequity in the same breath.
