Video: Freddie Gibbs discusses classic albums with Reebok

Indiana native Freddie Gibbs sits down with Reebok Classics to share, what in his opinion are, classic albums. I love that he said that Illmatic made him feel like he was from Queens. Don’t we all have albums that make us feel like we’re from a different region? Check it out.

Audio: Freddie Gibbs – Way 2 Fast

“The song is basically a true story. I saw a lot of young females go down that path that leads to addiction, abuse and death. I always made sure that I lead my baby sister in the right direction due to the things I’ve seen in the streets. As black men we need to be more accountable for our women.”

Video: Dom Kennedy, Freddie Gibbs & Casey Veggies At Fader Showcase (MTV RapFix)

Props to MTV News covering events that showcase independent and upcoming artists. A little birdie told me that MTV News will be airing segments highlighting LA hip hop artists in a few weeks. Yes!

The free Fader event, which took place Tuesday, had three solid acts, Dom Kennedy, Freddie Gibbs and Casey Veggies. Gangsta Gibbs, who recently signed with Young Jeezy’s label, Corporate Thugz Entertainment, is preparing to release his next project, Baby Faced Killa. West coast MC Dom Kennedy is prepping Westside With Love 2 and is leaning toward a May release for the project. It seemed like one hell of a show. Salty I had to miss it.

Our own LA Leaker and ex-convict DJ SourMilk even had a mention in the RapFix article. Woot!
