There's a distinction between being a rapper and a lyricist. All artists can put together words that rhyme, but very few make you stop the song you're listening to, so you can rewind it to comprehend a slick bar you just heard.
Fred the Godson was an elite lyricist.
Sadly, the Bronx, New York native lost his life on April 23, 2020, at the young age of 35 due to complications of coronavirus.
Thankfully, Fred recorded so much material throughout his career we will get a chance hear more of his music on future projects.
The first posthumous release from Gordo is titled "GodSon." A project which features many of Fred's classic songs. A lot of them you may have missed at the time they were originally released.
