Freddie Gibbs Covers Gil-Scott Heron’s “Winter In America”

blame it on 2DBZ February 26, 2021

Freddie Gibbs is in full takeover mode.

After spending the last two years dropping classics with Alchemist (the Grammy-nominated Alfredo) and Madlib (Piñata, which just received a massive 83-track deluxe drop on Spotify), Gibbs just spent four hours in Austin chopping it up with Joe Rogan on his podcast.

Now, with a few major moves in the tuck, Freddie Gibbs is keeping things in motion with a fresh take on Gil-Scott Heron‘s “Winter in America.”

The song is taken off The Undefeated and Hollywood Records’ new project, Black History Always: Music For The Movement Vol. 2 – which also features an original song from Brent Faiyaz, Tobe Nwigwe’s cover of Harold & The Bluenotes’ “Wake Up Everybody,” a rendition of Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman” by Tinashe, and some spoken word by Infinity Song.
