Part of what makes Freddie Gibbs so special is his unique ability to uproot the listener and drop them right into his reality. To force your eyes open wider, even when what's out there makes you squirm. In this revealing mini-documentary, Freddie takes YT back to the decayed avenues of Gary, to the time when he chose crime over a 9-5 and up to his re-birth, as a man with a purpose, to rap his way out of Gary for good.

By will | Published: July 29, 2010

The girls of First Aid Kit were giddy as couple of little girls in a dress shop to be in San Francisco, and to be in American in general. As Klara herself says before busking on the docks of the Balcutha, “I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that bridge on TV…and then I’m HERE!”

Yours Truly welcomes you.
