Released in 2011, Lord Giveth, Lord Taketh Away is a collaborative project between legendary producer Statik Selektah and rapper Freddie Gibbs. The album blends Gibbs' raw, street-focused lyricism with Statik Selektah’s signature boom-bap production, resulting in a tight, no-frills project that captures the essence of classic East Coast hip-hop with a Midwest twist.

Gibbs’ razor-sharp flow and gritty storytelling shine over Statik’s soulful beats, as the project explores themes of survival, ambition, and the realities of street life. Tracks like "Rap Money" and "Affiliated" showcase his hustler mentality, while "Keep It Warm 4 Ya" and "Carry On" bring a smoother yet still hard-hitting energy. Despite its brief runtime, Lord Giveth, Lord Taketh Away serves as a powerful statement from Gibbs, proving his ability to dominate any production style.
