The cover artwork for
Freddie Gibbs' 2018 commercial mixtape
Freddie is an homage to
Teddy Pendergrass' 1979 album
Teddy, but it's not exactly an album of quiet storm ballads, despite the sexual themes of some of its songs. Instead, it's a focused set of trap-influenced tracks showcasing
Gibbs' flow at its most energized. The release includes guest appearances by
03 Greedo (on "Death Row") as well as Cassie Jo Craig and
Gibbs' daughter Irie Jane (on "Diamonds 2").
Freddie charted in the Billboard 200 following its June 2018 release.
