Freddie Gibbs is out with a new short 3-song EP, but it packs a solid punch regardless of its brief runtime. Titled RBT, the name serves as a play on the word ‘rabbit,’ and sees Gibbs race through three tracks with his signature ease. If anything, the project reaffirms his status as one of the sharpest lyricists in the game.
Released via AWAL, the project appears to be an independent offering from the veteran rapper. The EP is notably devoid of features, aside from what sounds like an uncredited vocal contribution on the final track, ‘Axxtion,’ which may also be a sample.
The production across the three songs is minimalistic, sophisticated, and tasteful. Lyrically, the project tackles heavy themes, including institutional shortcomings, depression, and deep personal introspection. The result is a project that provides the perfect length for a quick but profound listening experience from a rapper who is often underestimated. Check it out below!
