In the 18 months since that night at Reggie’s, Freddie has graced the cover of XXL, dropped a retail album, modeled for LRG and inked a high profile record deal with everyone’s favorite snowman, Young Jeezy. So yeah, sh*t done changed. On the eve of his 29th birthday, I caught up with Gangsta Gibbs, who was in Hawaii celebrating the occasion, and we discussed his deal with Jeezy and his upcoming mixtape Cold Day In Hell.

Cold Day In Hell is supposed to drop on your birthday, which is tomorrow. Obviously that’s no longer happening, so can you tell us what you’ve been up to and the reasoning behind the delay?

I’ve been good man, you know. It’s been cool fu*kin’ with Jeezy and being able to do what I wanna do. Because I see a lot of these guys who sign up under other rappers and they don’t have any freedom. They can’t do what they wanna do, and I think my situation allows me to do that. Because sh*t, If I don’t wanna release my mixtape on a certain date; if I feel like I wanna take a little more time to add more sh*t, I can do that. Everything that I’m doing is a calculated decision. If I feel like I need to make it better then I’m gonna make it better. The sh*t might be great to other people’s standards, but if I don’t think it’s ready, it ain’t comin’ out. And I don’t mind dissin’ anyone either, so you know I had to make some adjustments on that end [Laughs].
