![]() ![]() Opener “Rearview” is a grim reality check featuring a unique delivery from Gibbs, who details his pill-popping, homeless past with unflinching detail. Shadow of a Doubt’s strongest stretch comes at the very beginning. ![]() There isn’t a ton of sonic variety, but if any MC can bring out the nuances in this production it’s Gibbs. Gibbs’ blackberry molasses flow allows him to ride almost any instrumental with ease, but at his core he’s most comfortable on the menacing, synth-and-808 heavy beats that comprise most of Shadow of a Doubt’s runtime. There may not be a single cut as immediately arresting as Str8 Killa’s “National Anthem” or Baby Face Killa’s “Stay Down” on Gangsta Gibbs’ latest release, but over 17 tracks he gets back to his grimy, base-serving roots after mellowing out for Piñata, his 2014 joint album with Madlib.
