Ahead of the tour announcement, Freddie and The Alchemist shared a new music video for “A Thousand Miles” late last week, directed by Nick Walker and drawing from scenes of Alfredo: The Movie. Alongside the new video, the duo expanded the world of Alfredo even further with the launch of Alfredo II: The Game, where players can take control of Freddie or The Alchemist in a Street Fighter-esque fight against the sensei, while streaming the new album. You can play the game at link.fans/alfredoii-game.
Five years after Alfredo—an album that became an instant classic and redefined what a rapper-producer duo could sound like— Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist released their second collaborative album Alfredo 2 via Rabbit Vision/ALC Records/Virgin Music. The long-anticipated followup to Alfredo enjoyed the duo’s biggest single album consumption and streaming week ever. It arrived July 25th alongside the Nick Walker-directed Alfredo: The Movie, shot on location in Japan, offering a cryptic glimpse into the Alfredo 2 world.
Equal parts yakuza noir and Ghost Dog, the film casts Gibbs and The Alchemist as partners navigating a seedy, hyper-stylized version of the city’s criminal underground. They’ve traded pasta for noodles, operating out of a humble ramen shop while studying ancient methods of preparation, boiling bones by day and laundering money by night. Alleyway negotiations, back room deals in smoky izakayas, and warrior monk training montages––it’s a bold reintroduction to the duo’s creative universe steeped in noir aesthetics, shadowy criminal underworlds, and razor-sharp bars.
Freddie Gibbs has never fit neatly into a box. Over the last decade, he’s evolved from underground tactician to cultural heavyweight—someone equally at home bodying a Madlib beat as he is acting alongside indie film darlings. But Gibbs’ evolution goes far beyond music. He’s expanded his presence on screen with roles that tap into the same emotional weight and streetwise intelligence that define his lyricism. Gibbs is building a career that sits at the intersection of authenticity and artistry—one foot in the culture, one in something bigger. With recent appearances in prestige television and film, and a reputation as one of rap’s most compelling live performers, Gibbs is carving out a path that blends street wisdom with high art.
The Alchemist, meanwhile, remains one of the most influential and consistent producers in the game. In the years since Alfredo, he’s been unstoppable—crafting full-length records with Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Larry June, MIKE, and most recently Erykah Badu while continuing to mentor and co-sign a new generation of underground talent. His fingerprints are all over the last decade of progressive rap music, and his sound—dusty, luxurious, unpredictable—remains unmatched. Alfredo 2 marks another chapter in a career defined by reinvention and quiet domination.
