Freddie Gibbs is already a 2x-HipHopDX Rap Album Of The Year champion, and he’s looking to repeat for a third time with SSS. One of the many reasons he took home the title twice was the fluid chemistry he had with Madlib and Alchemist on Bandana and Alfredo, respectively. HipHopDX gave Alfredo a 4.5 while Bandana received a 5 in our reviews. With both producers and even more legendary creatives contributing to SSS, Gibbs is swinging for the fences.
During a recent interview with Complex about his forthcoming movie Down With The King, Gibbs briefly spoke on what fans can expect on the highly-anticipated album.
“Nah man, SSS, my new album,” Gibbs said. “Soul Sold Separately, that’s my muthafucking all fresh shit. The new album is going to be crazy. This is probably going to be the best album I did. I think this one. I think ever since Piñata, I’ve been dropping classic albums, so I’m not going to stop right there.

“Piñata, classic. Bandana was a classic. Alfredo is a classic. SSS, going to be the same thing. I leveled up on his album. It’s going to be more features. It’s a little more sauce on this one I would say. Alfredo, that was just me rapping with…shit, I barely wrote a fucking hook on Alfredo. I was just showing n-ggas they can’t rap better than me.”
