Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist confirmed their return with Alfredo 2, dropping July 25, 2025. The album, a sequel to their Grammy-nominated 2020 debut, includes 14 tracks featuring Anderson .Paak, JID, and Larry June. Accompanying the audio release was a short film shot in Tokyo, in which Alchemist convinces a reclusive Gibbs to return to the city, blending cinematic storytelling with album promotion.
The duo released the lead single “1995” and the film trailer on July 17. Early buzz has emphasized the creative synergy between Gibbs’s lyrical grit and Alchemist’s moody production. As nostalgia for the original grows, fans of the first Alfredo are excited for this return to form.
To bolster engagement, they launched a unique video game titled Alfredo 2: Arcade, released on August 1, reinforcing the artistic universe behind the album. A supporting Alfredo: The Tour is already confirmed, promising live shows inspired by the Tokyo‑themed narrative.
Alfredo 2 represents an ambitious multimedia rollout—hands-on, stylistic, and anchored by the duo’s established chemistry. Their blend of grime, introspection, and concept art makes it one of the most inventive hip-hop stays of July 2025.
