Within the past 12 months, Azizi Gibson's been steadily delivering new music to his fans, whether it's loose singles or short projects. Fans have been waiting for him to drop a new album. He teamed up with Hippie Sabotage in the spring to deliver their three track collaborative EP, Hentai which served as a little something to hold fans over until his album drops. Thankfully, the wait has ended and Azizi Gibson released his new project Xenophile over the weekend.
Azizi Gibson is back with his new project, Xenophile. The project features several previously released singles including "Intro (Doug Funny)," "Only Ever Love," "96 Bounce," "Rihanna" "Barbie" and the DJ Paul assisted track, "Tinder." Gibson taps a range of producers from the project including Millz Douglas, YG! Beats, Holy Beats and Ezr0 Marei. Azizi Gibson's artistic range is on full display on Xenophile and he pretty much has a little something for everyone without having to compromise his own creativity.
