Freddie Gibbs’ $oul $old $eparately, released on September 30, 2022, is his first major-label solo album—and it plays like a high-stakes gamble at a fictional Las Vegas resort called the “Triple-S Hotel.” The concept? Gibbs is holed up in a luxury suite, recording in isolation while navigating fame, paranoia, and personal demons.
Gibbs explores the tension between luxury and loneliness, success and sacrifice. The skits—set in the Triple-S Hotel—add surreal texture, with check-ins from characters like Black Jesus and Mamma Gibbs. It’s lavish but laced with paranoia, like sipping champagne while watching your back.
