I was going to write "might", but I'll just go ahead and say it; Freddie Gibbs is the best up-and-coming rapper in the game today. With a flow that's reminiscent of a young Big Boi or Biggie and a complete refusal to touch anything soft, Gibbs has earned a prominent place my headphones for the last few months, and now I've got a new track to put on repeat: "The Ghetto". While producer Melvin L. Dinkins crafts a sonic backdrop soaked in east coast boom-bap influences, Gibbs gets on his storytelling shit, dropping bar after bar of precisely insightful lyrical destruction: "To make it out you gotta do something special / especially when we stressin these economic conditions / conditionally causin us to cook crack in the kitchen." Goddamn.

Call me a stan, but I refuse to apologize for digging dope hip-hop. Gibb's "Str8 Killa No Filla" mixtape drops soon. Keep it locked for more.

Nathan S.	Sorry Almost Forgotten, but Gibbs' people are only sending out the radio version right now. I'll have the dirty version up asap.

1stround-ko	I think the sound effects should be something cool, like a gunshot, but many times every sound effects are chirps and other odd sounds... like they are trying to set a record for most different FX. Cool track... will DL the dirty track when it drops.
