Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist Confirm "Alfredo 2" Is Coming: What We Know So Far
Hip-hop heads, it's official—Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist are cooking up something special once again. A sequel to their critically acclaimed 2020 project Alfredo is in the works, and it’s reportedly titled Alfredo 2.
The Return of a Modern Classic
Originally released in May 2020, Alfredo was a masterclass in modern hip-hop: gritty, soulful, and tightly produced. The album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album and became an instant fan favorite thanks to standout tracks like “1985,” “Scottie Beam,” and “Something to Rap About.”
Now, Gibbs and Alc are reuniting in the studio, and fans couldn't be more hyped.
“Me and Alchemist already working on Alfredo 2,” Gibbs confirmed in a recent interview.
“It’s coming sooner than you think.”
What Can We Expect from Alfredo 2?
While no official release date has been announced, both artists have teased snippets and hinted at progress behind the scenes. If Alfredo 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, expect razor-sharp bars from Freddie and cinematic, sample-heavy beats from Alc—plus features that could include some of today’s sharpest spitters.
Given Gibbs’ recent collaborations and Alc’s ever-expanding production resume, Alfredo 2 could be one of the most anticipated hip-hop releases of the year.
Why This Duo Works
Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist have undeniable chemistry. Gibbs' gritty storytelling and relentless flow blend seamlessly with Alc’s dusty loops and minimalist boom-bap production. Together, they’ve carved out a sound that feels both classic and refreshingly current.
