Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist just dropped Alfredo 2, and it’s already shaking the table harder than a mosh pit at Rolling Loud.
From the moment this project hit streaming, it became clear: Gibbs didn’t come to play. He came to fire shots—and he’s naming names. Jim Jones, Curren$y, Benny The Butcher, Gunna, even DJ Akademiks all catch smoke on this album. If Alfredo 1 was the appetizer, this is the full-on main course with a side of beef.

Let’s break it down.
On “Gas Station Sushi,” Gibbs reignites his long-running tension with Curren$y, throwing shade on their past collab Fetti. No subliminals—he straight up says he could’ve carried the whole project solo with The Alchemist.
And it gets spicier.
“Lavish Habits” sees Gibbs come for Gunna over his plea deal and Akademiks for… well, just being himself. One of the most viral lines already?
“I’m still gon’ squeeze Akademiks’ ttties, that fat bstd / Gunna dissed me and took a plea, he a rat b*std.”
Then there’s “Empanadas,” where Gibbs relives real-life street drama, referencing his altercations with Jim Jones in Miami and Benny The Butcher’s crew in Buffalo. He doesn’t sugarcoat a thing:
“Smacked him in Miami, his boys jumped me, he played it safe / B*tches in Buffalo did the same thing, they was throwin’ plates…”
Whew.
The album also dropped with a cinematic twist—Alfredo: The Movie, directed by Nick Walker and shot in Japan, where Gibbs and Alc play Yakuza-style crime lords. If you thought the bars were wild, the visuals take it up a level. Think mafia flick meets underground rap saga.

Let’s not forget—Alfredo (2020) earned a Grammy nod for Best Rap Album. And Alfredo 2? It’s already gunning for more than awards. It’s gunning for legacy.
This isn’t just rap beef. This is lyrical warfare with festival energy. The kind of project that makes you want to rage in the front row, spit every bar, and scream “run that back!” before the bass even drops.
So if you’re pulling up to Rolling Loud, expect the crowd to go absolutely feral when a track off Alfredo 2 plays. Gibbs is feeding the streets—and he’s doing it with a flamethrower.
