“I drew my tape out on the streets and watch my tape liftoff/ Without a verse from Weezy, Kanye or the fake Rick Ross/ Fuck a co-sign I hold mine close to the hip/ Crushin’ feelin’s leavin’ niggas on some emotional shit…”

No shots fired, just more rhymin’ about surviving — “I’m too deep in the streets to be beefin’ with a rapper” — and keepin’ it 100 with regards to his come up over Statik Selektah’s “Stick 2 the Script.”

It remains to be seen whether Gangsta Gibbs will need to mix with the aforementioned heavyweights (super literal for the latter, mind you) to truly blow, but he’s done well for himself by himself thus far. At the very least, he’s kept the streetlights on for Gary, IN despite his “average hoop skills” relative to Big Dog Robinson.

And if his last offering, the 81-track The Labels Tryin’ To Kill Me, was too large to digest, this first taste from his upcoming Str8 Killa No Filla tape is proof that Freddie takes nary a bar off.
