Early Life And Education

Fredrick Jamel Tipton, known professionally as Freddie Gibbs, was born on June 14, 1982, in Gary, Indiana, United States. He is the son of Warren Tipton, who was a member of the renowned R&B group The Chi-Lites, joining the band in 2018.

While details about his mother remain undisclosed, it is known that Gibbs may have had siblings, though there is little public information about them.

Gibbs initially attended Ball State University on an athletic scholarship, where he played football. However, his time at the university was short-lived due to poor decisions and a lack of direction, leading to his expulsion.

In an attempt to turn his life around, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as part of a pre-trial diversion program after facing legal issues related to theft and gun charges.

Unfortunately, his military career was brief as he was dishonorably discharged after just eight months due to drug use. Freddie Gibbs is of African American descent, but his personal religious beliefs have not been publicly disclosed.

Career

Freddie Gibbs began his music career in 2004, initially self-releasing his debut mixtape Full Metal Jackit, followed by its sequel. These projects helped establish his lyrical talent and distinctive style. In 2006, he signed with Interscope Records, where he began working on a debut album.

However, after a series of executive changes at the label, the album was shelved, and Gibbs was ultimately dropped from Interscope. Rather than being discouraged, Gibbs continued to release music independently and in 2011, he found a new home with Young Jeezy’s CTE World label, marking the start of a more prominent chapter in his career.

During his time at CTE World, Gibbs gained significant recognition with the release of his 2012 mixtape Baby Face Killa, which featured collaborations with major artists like Pharrell Williams and Jadakiss.

This project helped solidify his position in the hip-hop community. In December 2012, Gibbs parted ways with CTE World amicably and launched his own label, ESGN (Evil Seeds Grow Naturally). The same year, he released his debut studio album under the ESGN name.

He continued to build momentum with subsequent albums such as Shadow of a Doubt (2015) and You Only Live 2wice (2017), with both receiving critical praise for their lyrical depth and unique production.

Gibbs’s career further flourished with collaborative efforts, particularly his work with renowned producer Madlib. Their albums Piñata (2014) and Bandana (2019) received widespread acclaim for their innovative sound and storytelling.

He also worked with The Alchemist on Fetti (2018) and Alfredo (2020), the latter earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. In 2022, Gibbs made his major label debut with Soul Sold Separately under Warner Records, further cementing his influence in contemporary hip-hop.

Alongside his music career, Gibbs expanded his creative portfolio, including an appearance in the Power Book IV: Force TV series. As of late 2024, his highly anticipated sixth studio album, You Only Die 1nce, was released, promising to continue his evolution as an artist.
