Harem girls in mink lounge on divans, devouring chocolate shrooms. An English butler proffers a silver tray full of blunts, filled with Freddie Kane’s strain of indica. As it exists in the Olympian imagination, the Los Angeles abode of Freddie Gibbs has faucets that flow with Hennessy and a freezer packed with the purest white powder north of Panama. Shadow of a Doubt is the perfect example of Gibbs’s hard work and a refusal to rest on his laurels.Behold Mount Kane. Through his ESGN label, Gibbs continues to be self-supporting, self-ruling and self-reliant. Very few hip-hop artists are as fortunate as Gibbs in being independent from major labels and sustaining themselves without any corporate interference. McDuck, Lately and Basketball Wives, on the other hand, offer a momentary relief as Gibbs croons boorishly, reminding us that he’s ‘always got that pussy’ on his mind. Extradite, Packages and 10 Times are all forcibly menacing yet pertain a bounce that jumps like the rev of a motor. Gibbs’s flow here is by no means dissimilar to last year’s Madlib collaboration Piñata, his gutsy delivery joyriding over urgently aggressive hip-hop percussion and woozy vocal samples. It’s the perfect pigeon-chested gangster behaviour to accompany an album that is equally as outrageous, stimulating and crass. “Once Snoop Dogg gave me the plug, the stamp, it’s all love,” Gibbs said. Much to Gibbs’ benefit, even the certified Doggfather himself, Snoop, weighed in with his own appraisal. “Potent” and “Tranquillising” were among the comments. The chronic, labelled Freddie Kane OG, has received multiple reviews and ‘user’ ratings. Through a PR endorsement for Shadow of a Doubt, Freddie Gibbs’s third studio album, the rapper concocted his own premium cannabis strain in collaboration with marketing agency The Grow Division.
