The 43-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper is on the road fresh off the release of Alfredo 2, the sequel to his 2020 album (which lost two Nas’ King’s Disease for Best Rap Album in 2021). The 14-track album includes guest spots from Anderson .Paak, JID, and Larry June.
Gibbs announced the gig this month in a joint tour announcement with Alfredo 2 producer the Alchemist. The Alchemist, unfortunately, is not part of the tour’s three Florida shows which North Carolina rapper Mavi opens.
Tickets to see Freddie Gibbs play The Ritz in Ybor City on Friday, Oct. 3 are still available and start at $50.25.
Watch the Japanese-mafia-flavored short film that accompanied Alfredo 2’s release—and see Josh Bradley’s latest roundup of the best new concerts coming to Tampa Bay—below.
