The real is back! On Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, "RapFix Live" returns with Freddie Gibbs, who will hit the couch to discuss everything from coming up in Gary, Indiana, to signing with Young Jeezy's CTE label to his upcoming project Cold Day in Hell.
While rap has diversified its cast of characters to include MCs from all walks of life, Gibbs has remained unapologetically gangster. Originally signed by Interscope in 2005, Gangsta Gibbs struggled to get the label to see his vision and was eventually released from his deal in October 2007.
But in 2009, Freddie proved that there was room for his brand of music. With his The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs and midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik, Gibbs made fans take notice. His grind paid off, and in 2010, Freddie earned himself a spot on XXL magazine's 2010 Freshmen cover. He went on to drop the independent release Str8 Killa No Filla on Decon Records.
In April, the Midwest MC made his biggest move yet when he inked with Young Jeezy's CTE (Corporate Thugz Entertainment). Since the signing, the pair have released quite a few songs, including their hustle ode "Run DMC," "Do It for You" and "Rough," a song off of the Snowman's latest mixtape, The Real Is Back 2.
"RapFix Live" will also bring you backstage at the Rock the Bells tour stop in New York City this past weekend. On Saturday, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Slaughterhouse and Mobb Deep all performed, and "RFL" has all the exclusives for you as well as our regular Get in the Game and Weekend Rotation segments.
Catch Freddie Gibbs on "RapFix Live" Wednesday, September 7, at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com!
