TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with FG and his A&R, Norva Denton, at his pop-up shop for his new "You Only Die 1nce" album released on Friday ... after he plastered Hollywood with nightmarish billboards to resemble Elm Street right before Halloween!!!
Freddie's steadily getting praised for his rapping ability, and the first listen impressed LBJ so much he had to post on social media about it.
