Thursday afternoon, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist officially announced the sequel to their collaborative album Alfredo, aptly titled Alfredo 2. The record is due out July 25th via Virgin Music.

Yesterday, a select number of fans arrived at Los Angeles’ Brain Dead Studios cinema for a special advance screening of Alfredo: The Movie. Today, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist deliver on the rumors with the official announcement of Alfredo 2 paired alongside opening track “1995” and the release of the short film. 

Directed by Nick Walker and shot on location in Japan, Alfredo: The Movie offers 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. Watch the short film below.

Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist are celebrating the launch of Alfredo II with an exclusive drop of 100 signed vinyl records available only on Amazon. To mark the occasion, the duo has partnered with HVW8 Gallery in Los Angeles and streetwear label Babylon for a special event sponsored by Rotation, the Black music brand from Amazon Music, on Saturday, July 19th from 6pm to 10pm when the vinyl will be available for purchase online. The event will include a photo exhibition, advance album listening, short film screening, and a limited apparel capsule with Babylon.

There are four different versions of Alfredo 2's cover art. However, the record's tracklist has yet to be revealed. Pre-order the record here, and view the art below.
