Artists
Freddie Gibbs

Freddie Gibbs has become one of hip-hop’s most important, inimitable, and influential voices via his quotable wordplay, versatile songs, and unflinching honesty. Since 2004, the uncompromising Indiana-raised rapper has built a diehard global fan base and regularly attracted tastemaker adoration. His discography includes 20-plus mixtapes, eight EPs, four official solo albums, and four top-billed collaborative records. 2019's Bandana with Madlib was a new critical and commercial high watermark. After bowing at #21 on the Billboard Top 200, it closed 2019 on year-end lists by Vulture, Vibe, UPROXX, Stereogum, Noisey, SPIN, Complex, and more. GQ called it “one of the best albums of the year” and promised, "Freddie Gibbs will rap circles around anybody.” Teaming up with Warner Records in 2020, his momentum only accelerated six months later as The Alchemist-assisted Alfredo drew the same enthusiasm, landing a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Rap Album and hitting #4 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart. Freddie Gibbs has collaborated with everyone from Pusha T, Killer Mike, Anderson .Paak, and Yasiin Bey to Tyler, The Creator, Gucci Mane, A$AP Ferg, Jay Rock, and Young Thug, in addition to contributing music to blockbuster video game franchises, such as Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, and NBA2K. In early 2021, Gibbs teamed up with ESPN for Black History Month performing on their “Black History Always” special The Undefeated Presents: A Room of Our Own and featuring on The Undefeated's Music For The Moment/Black History Always EP. The summer saw Freddie make his feature film debut starring in Down With The King which premiered during Cannes. Most recently, he released a "Black Illuminati (Ft. Jadakiss) on Warner Records alongside the launch of his own Natural Wine label Big Rabbit Wines.

Zack Fox

Zack Fox is an Atlanta-raised comedian, artist, actor, and writer with an ever-expanding following and footprint on the culture. Zack independently released his debut rap album “shut the fuck up talking to me” via Alpha Pup in October 2021 featuring production from The Alchemist, Kenny Beats, and BNYX.

Making a name for himself in his hometown’s underground, rap-centric creative scene, Fox’s biting, hilarious commentary has vaulted records to the top of the charts and sparked both absurdist riffs and serious debate on social issues.

It’s not all talking wild shit on stage or online: Zack has written for The Eric Andre Show, and co-wrote and acted in Flying Lotus’ notorious horror-comedy “Kuso,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This year he wrote for Sam Jay’s late night show for HBO, as well as BUST DOWN which will premiere on Peacock in early 2022. Zack is also developing projects with HBO, Adult Swim, and A24.
