Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist have officially released Alfredo: The Movie, now streaming on YouTube. Alongside the cinematic release, the duo also dropped the lead single “1995,” giving fans a first taste of their highly anticipated Alfredo 2 project, which they confirmed Thursday (July 17).
Described as “a Tokyo crime saga,” the film stars both Gibbs and The Alchemist and is directed by Nicholas Walker. The stylish, noir-inspired short film follows a cryptic storyline told partly in Japanese with English subtitles, offering an atmospheric journey steeped in crime, tension and introspection.
The narrator opens with, “Life is like pouring sake. Pour it faithfully. Nothing will spill,” setting the tone with philosophical reflections matched by gritty visuals, including a scene of Gibbs doing pull-ups beneath the title card Alfredo.
The movie’s closing credits confirm the project is presented by Softspot and labeled as Alfredo II, suggesting that the film and single are just the beginning of the album rollout.
The original Alfredo album dropped in 2020 to critical acclaim. With “1995” now available on all streaming platforms and the film online, fans can dive headfirst into the next chapter of this celebrated collaboration.
