The sound of ‘Gangsta Gibbs’ is hard, gruff and real, a true gangster rapper, though he simply speaks on a reality most wouldn’t understand in a Tupac-esque, unforgiving manner that seems harsh to the disconnected. The collaborative album was a bit uncharacteristic of Gibbs’ style but received positive reviews and critical acclaim, setting a pretty lofty bar for his future projects, one being his newest album “Shadow of a Doubt.”
Gary, Indiana product and skilled storyteller Freddie Gibbs is back with a new tape that is less “Piñata” and more “BFK” with his album “Shadow of a Doubt.” The album, released on November 20 th under ESGN Records and Empire Distribution, is a little more than a year removed from “Piñata” album, where he joined forces with DJ and producer Madlib, who lent his expertise to produce the entirety of Gibbs’ sophomore album.
