With Freddie and Burn One on a track are we really surprised it’s this great? This is how it should be done.

If there’s any information you actually need to retain today it’s that Gary, Indiana’s Freddie Gibbs is releasing his ‘Str8 Killa No Filla’ mixtape this Thursday (July 29th) and then the EP of the same name on August 3rd on Decon Records. And if this video isn’t reason enough for you to cop it as soon as it is physically possible to do so, then the fact that there will be three Block Beattaz tracks (one of which we posted earlier) and one DJ Burn One joint on it surely will. Full lowdown and both covers right here. But for now, watch and listen to one of the most riveting videos and flows we’ve seen and heard in weeks.

This feels like Gangsta Gibbs’s finest moment yet. Incredible wouldn’t be overstating it.

It had to happen. And now it has.

Gary, Indiana’s Gangsta Gibbs – the man the New Yorker used to prove that hip-hop might not in fact be deceased – and super-producers the Block Beattaz, who the New York Times name-checked when claiming Huntsville, Alabama “owned” hip-hop last year – have collided on this special day in this classic smoker’s anthem.

‘Personal OG’ is taken off Freddie Gibbs’ forthcoming ‘Str8 Killa No Filla’ mixtape, presented by DJ Skee.
