Rapper Freddie Gibbs, who is best known for skating like butter on a hot pan when it comes to Alchemist beats (as was evident in their GRAMMY-nominated album Alfredo), has just announced the inevitable: Alfredo 2. That’s right; The Alchemist is back on production for the project, which is supposed to drop on July 25, 2025.

The cover for this sequel is a ramen, possibly signifying the shift in sonics to a more Asia-based sample-bank for Alchemist to chop. This artwork itself is a callback to the original Alfredo album, which had a bowl of spaghetti for its artwork.

For some fans, the shift to a ‘ramen’ illustration didn’t sit well. After all, there is obvious incongruence between pasta and ramen, and the name Alfredo 2 is very obviously more pasta themed. Although those fans would find it helpful to remember the origins of the name Alfredo for the project: ‘Al’ from Alchemist, ‘Fredo’ from Freddie Gibbs.

The pair have also unveiled the official track list, which boasts big features from Anderson .Paak, J.I.D and Larry June. The announcement also comes with a film, Alfredo: The Movie, as well as ‘1995,’ that could give you insight into what the album might sound like. Check them both out below!
