#14 | Freddie Gibbs & Madlib | Bandana
Keep Cool/RCA
According to Marcus Willis: “By the time you reach the soaring synths and clap snares of the album-closing “Soul Right,” it feels like a well-earned victorious bop into the sunset, with our narrator declaring “I can't hold no grudges, my hands is too busy catching blessings.” Despite all he’s seen and done, Freddie Gibbs appears to be ready for a new, less tumultuous life phase, and the two men occasionally known as MadGibbs have successfully graduated from rapper and beat maker to full-blown synergistic duo who naturally bring out the best in each other.”
