Yesterday we posted the Closed Sessions & LRG documentary featuring Freddie Gibbs and Chicago emcee YP. Below is the song they collaborated on which is produced by Million $ Mano. It features a familiar sample you may remember from Dr. Dre’s Chronic 2001. Check out the new joint and let us know what you think.

You can stream “Something New” below or download it after the jump.

If you weren’t anticipating the hell out of this project, well, I’m sorry? As several folks have pointed out in our comment section over the past few weeks whenever I write about Freddie Gibbs: Does anyone actually dislike this guy? I mean, dude’s flow is ferocious. He can tell a hell of a story about his rough — and true — upbringing while also delivering plenty of gangster attitude throughout his bars. This is one MC that has a bright future ahead of him and, hopefully, we hear more from him sooner rather than later. Personally, I’m just glad we’re finally seeing the release of Str8 Killa No Filla as it feels like this has been delayed forever. But maybe I’m impatient.

Download Str8 Killa No Filla after the jump and stream “Do Wrong”, which features Pill, below. Props to Nah Right and XXL.

The original version of this track leaked earlier this year and fully displayed that we had much to look forward to from Freddie Gibbs’ much anticipated Str8 Killa No Filla. And as the months passed, we heard a few more leaks that displayed both this Gary, Ind. native’s tenacity (“National Anthem (Fuck the World)”) and supreme storytelling (“The Ghetto“). Now, we have a re-up of “Slammin”, a more streets-friendly anthem that is turned into a slightly more headnod-worthy affair thanks to Maker’s remix of the track. He throws organs and a clipping guitar all over “Slammin” to provide a new spin on an already fresh cut.

Damn, I did not expect to see these two collaborating. But after hearing “Near the End”, I am pretty damn glad they did. It’s kind of crazy how organic this pairing of completely different acts is, but hey, I can’t complain. I don’t want to say Freddie Gibbs completely steals the show either, but his verse, which arrives toward the end, is absolutely fantastic. Sure, it’s your typical shoulder-brushing bravado, but he just kills it. Outasight is no slouch, of course, as he rides the bluesy production from Table for 6 with ease. All I can say is I won’t be surprised if more than one of you blasts this during a BBQ this weekend. Hell, if you don’t, I’ll be kind of disappointed.

Hit the skip to download “Near the End”, which you can stream below.

Freddie Gibbs is back with his latest single “Rock Bottom” off his Str8 Killa No Filla mixtape. The track features Bun B with production by Beatnick & K-Salaam. “Rock Bottom” has that Southern flow, infectious hook with the perfect beat to marry it. Freddie Gibbs and Bun B both sound great on this new record as they trade verses on the trials of being rock bottom and finding a way to get back up. Check out the new track and let us know what you think.
