Inspired by the Virginia Duo

During a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, the Gary, Indiana MC heaped praise on Pusha T and Malice, revealing that their album has been a significant source of inspiration for him. He specifically highlighted “F.I.C.O.,” a collaboration with Stove God Cooks, as his current favorite song, describing it as “hard.”

The Alchemist, who was also present during the interview, echoed Gibbs’ sentiment, calling “Let God Sort Em Out” immaculate. After hearing the full project, Freddie Gibbs reached out to Pusha T directly to commend him and Malice on their work, saying, “That sh*t hard my n****.” It’s great to see the continued camaraderie between Gibbs and Pusha T, with Gibbs noting that the “energy is always reciprocated.”

Friendly Competition and Future Projects

Joe Budden chimed in, suggesting that Malice might be his rapper of the year. Freddie Gibbs agreed, playfully adding himself into the conversation, “Yup between me and him.” This friendly rivalry highlights the strong artistic output from both artists this year. While Clipse debuted at number four on the charts selling over 112,000 copies, Gibbs’ “Alfredo 2” premiered at number 12 with 37,000 copies sold, demonstrating solid performance for both releases.

Looking ahead, Freddie Gibbs also teased a future collaboration with KAYTRANADA, with whom he has already created new music.
