Fredrick Jamel Tipton, known professionally as Freddie Gibbs, was born on June 14, 1982, in Gary, Indiana. His early life involved playing football at Ball State University on an athletic scholarship before being expelled, followed by an enlistment in the U.S. Army through a pre-trial diversion program, which ended with a dishonorable discharge. His music career began in 2004, self-releasing mixtapes like “Full Metal Jackit.” He was initially signed to Interscope Records, but the release of his debut album was canceled. This early experience led him to continue independently releasing music until 2011.
Gibbs later signed with Young Jeezy’s CTE World in 2011, where he released several mixtapes, including “Cold Day in Hell” (2011) and the critically acclaimed “Baby Face Killa” (2012). After departing CTE in 2013, he established his own record label, ESGN, and released his debut studio album of the same name. His career saw significant collaboration, particularly with producers Madlib and The Alchemist. Projects like “Piñata” (2014) and “Bandana” (2019) with Madlib, and “Alfredo” (2020) with The Alchemist, received widespread critical praise. “Alfredo” earned a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. In 2020, Gibbs signed with Warner Records, releasing his major label debut “Soul Sold Separately” in 2022 and “You Only Die 1nce” in 2024. He has also made acting appearances, including a role in the Starz series “Power Book IV: Force.”
