Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist are set to premiere “Alfredo: The Movie” as a lead-up to their highly anticipated sequel album, “Alfredo 2.”
Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist brought their cinematic flair to the big screen with the premiere of Alfredo: The Movie, a short film debuting Wednesday (July 16) at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles to mark the five-year anniversary of their acclaimed 2020 album Alfredo and build anticipation for its sequel, Alfredo 2.
The film, which stars both Gibbs and The Alchemist, dives deeper into the noir-inspired, mafioso themes that defined the original project.
With a visual style pulled straight from classic gangster flicks, the short expands the world they created on wax, now brought to life on screen.
The Los Angeles premiere is set to include a live Q&A with Gibbs, The Alchemist and director Nick Walker, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind the film and the upcoming album.
Released in 2020, Alfredo was praised for its cinematic production and vivid storytelling, earning a Grammy nomination and cementing its place as a modern Hip-Hop staple. The new film serves as both a tribute to that legacy and a teaser for what’s next.
Alfredo 2, officially confirmed by the duo, is expected to drop later in 2025.
While a specific date hasn’t been announced, the sequel’s cover art has already made waves online, featuring a nod to the original’s imagery—this time with hands puppeteering ramen noodles instead of fettuccine.
