Five years ago, a stressed-out pandemic-summer world got a brief reprieve in the form of Alfredo, the excellent collaborative album from underground rap greats Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist. The two made for an ideal pairing, just like Gibbs and Madlib before them. Alfredo appeared on tons of year-end lists and got a surprise Best Rap Album Grammy nomination. And just like Gibbs and Madlib before them, Gibbs and Alchemist are now coming back for seconds. Next week, Gibbs and the Alchemist will release Alfredo 2 their second full-length team-up.
