Bartees Strange has shared an Amazon Original cover of Freddie Gibbs and Schoolboy Q’s 2021 single “Gang Signs.” In a statement, Strange explained: “I covered ‘Gang Signs’ because Freddie Gibbs is one of my favorite artists and I thought this would be a cool format for the song.” He added, “This song is so gorgeous in a way that only Freddie could do. He always walks this line of being pretty hardcore lyrically, really pulls no punches. I love that about him—something I really admire. We could all use a little dose of Freddie from time to time.” Listen to Bartees Strange’s rendition of “Gang Signs” below.
