Freddie Gibbs Teases New Album with Krueger

Freddie Gibbs is teasing his upcoming album using the iconic horror character Freddy Krueger to build hype. Billboards around Los Angeles feature Krueger’s eyes with the message 'Freddie’s Back' and a phone number that, when called, plays a creepy message from Robert Englund, who portrayed Krueger. The message references Gibbs' previous works and hints at the new project, possibly titled 'You Only Die Once'. Gibbs has been working on multiple projects and recently shared snippets of new music, with speculation that the album could drop around Halloween. Fans are also anticipating a collaboration with Madlib, who hinted at a new album as well. Overall, Gibbs is generating excitement with a unique marketing strategy that blends horror and hip-hop.
