![]() Speaking to HipHopDX last week, in advance of his performance as part of the DX and Decon Records showcase this weekend (March 19th) at this year’s South By Southwest festival, Gangsta Gibbs addressed the rumors of his return to the majors, before revealing new details of his forthcoming Cold Day in Hell / Baby Faced Killa one-two punch for 2011. The Gary, Indiana native is abiding by the same pledge the legendary Long Island trio made to their fans nearly 18 years ago: that their music “might blow up, but it won’t go Pop.” Gangsta Gibbs is similarly refusing to alter his lyrically adept Reality Rap to satisfy the cravings of today’s diabetic music listeners overindulging in the saccharine sweet sounds dripping out of their radios.īut that buck-the-system stance the “Midwest Malcolm” defiantly took on his stellar single from last year, “National Anthem (Fuck the World),” might soon be put to the test, as the onetime Interscope signee, who was subsequently passed on by ‘Scope subsidiary Shady Records, may be making a return to the major label ranks, and thus having his hardened tales of struggle and survival heard on the same airwaves as the sugary artists he denounces.Įven as Freddie’s balloon rapidly fills with air, Gibbs is remaining true to his raw roots, with plans to replicate his 2010 approach to serving the streets by dropping a standout mixtape followed by an even better formal retail release. Freddie Gibbs is clearly a De La Soul fan.
