Freddie Gibbs Forms ESGN Imprint

Freddie Gibbs is taking his ESGN to a whole new level. In a partnership with EMPIRE Distrubtion, Gibbs is launching his own independent label. To hear him tell it.

“ESGN is me. If you’re in it, you know what it’s all about. You might know ESGN from my blog on RapRadar, but it’s basically the full embodiment of what I represent: music, film, fashion and more. I decided to partner up with EMPIRE Distribution because I like the way they rock. They make things simple and I like keeping things simple. They allow me to do what I gotta do and help me expand my reach through their various relationships.”

His Baby Face Killa mixtape drops September 25 and he plans to release a retail version with additional tracks afterwards.

    Creating your own record label when you’ve never released an album is not a good look

    Glad to see an artist controlling the business side of his music. We need more entrepreneurs. Keep going.

    I knew it was a bad idea signing with Jeezy

    Reblogged this on The Music Business Revisionist and commented:
    Didn’t see this one coming, but I guess we should have. So many rappers are forming labels these days. If he’s smart, Gibbs will do his best to create a sustainable brand that goes far beyond entertainment.

    damn you, this is sorta embarassing for gibbs. I love dude to death, he’s one of the realest out, but damn your own label now? that seems hella weird since he is supposedly signed to CTE… we’ll see what happens but im afraid that its too late to resurrect his career…

  10. Anon DCPL says:

    BFK!

    I don’t give a shit, I just want that good music delivered.

    A bunch of debbie downers on this bitch.

  11. J says:

    For real @Anon Gibbs is hands down the best gangsta rapper in the game! Best lyrics and flow about the streets. BFK gon be the mixtape of the year

  12. BMW says:

    He is still with CTE, retards

  13. Black Shady says:

  14. elpresidente says:

    Yo what fashion and film does Freddie represent?????
    Stop it 5, this da same dude dat snitched on the TSA agent for lettin him get on da plane with weed right?
    Gibbs been a confused dude for years now. He from Indiana but rep chicago then he thinks he represents film and fashion when he over here being Jeezy weed carrier and shit. smh

  15. Goldenboy says:

    Why is BFK takin so damn long to drop

  16. TRUTH says:

    I THINK WE ALL SEEN THIS COMING BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SEEN IT COMING…JEEZY IS THE TYPE OF NIGGA THATS TOO INTO HIMSELF SHINNING TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE DO THAT OVER HIM.

  17. not DEF JAM LABEL says:

  18. Diondon says:

    See the difference between Sleezy and Ross? Ross putting niggas out left and right while Gibbs getting frustrated and saying fuk it, I’ll put myself out. Bossssssssss

  19. mr.kee says:

    Its a good look he signed to CTE why wouldnt jeezy allow him to go out and build his brand like he did

  20. will says:

    Might be reading too much into this, but this looks like Gibbs trying to separate himself from Jeezy, and the leaks from BFK defend that, cause Bout it Bout it and The Hard sound NOTHING like what the majority of Cold Day in Hell sounded like. You really think Gibbs wants BFK to just sound like Pull Up? Gibbs is best over Madlib type shit but Jeezy’s style don’t mesh wit Madlib. Honestly, Gibbs should have just signed with Stones Throw. Hope this shit works for him, cause really, Gibbs career isn’t in the best spot right now, especially since other guys like Krit and Kendrick got their albums already out (well Kendrick is like a month away but you get it)

  21. Lowdown says:

    Google ‘Rockafella Records’ & then slap yourself in the face for saying dumb shit
