Freddie Gibbs returns with a gripping narrative on his 2012 album "Cold Day In Hell," released under his independent label ESGN. Clocking in at just over an hour, this 16-track project is a raw and unfiltered journey through the streets, showcasing Gibbs' signature lyrical prowess and storytelling ability. From the hard-hitting opener "Barely M.A.D.E. It" to the reflective closer "Where Have You Been?", Gibbs delves into themes of survival, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life in the inner city. Tracks like "187 Proof" and "Menace II Society" highlight his aggressive flow, while "So Amazin' (P.S.A. part 2)" and "Natural High (Even Higher Learning)" offer moments of introspection. With production handled by a mix of industry heavyweights and up-and-coming beatmakers, "Cold Day In Hell" is a testament to Freddie Gibbs' growth as an artist and his commitment to keeping it real.
