Artist Focus-Freddie Gibbs

Freddie Tipton (born January 28, 1982), better known by his stage name Freddie Gibbs, is a rapper from Gary, Indiana, now based in Southern California He was signed by Interscope Records before being let go from his deal without a record being released. Subsequent to this, in 2009, he brought out The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs—a compilation of his work to that date, mixing mixtape tracks with unreleased studio material—and midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik—a collection of new music.Both were released for free to the internet.

Gibbs has been compared to the legendary artists, Tupac Shakur as he not only "has a similar voice and delivery to revered hip hop martyr, the two also share a similar content to their music.Both use gangster rap as a tool to display the struggle, the beauty, and the emotion of lower socioeconomic life in modern America."His Southern-sounding cadences and easy drops into double-time rapping has also drawn parallels to UGK, Z-Ro and Outkast (midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik's title being a play on that of Outkast's 1994 debut, southernplayalisticadillacmuzik).
