FREDDIE GIBBS & MADLIB have today announced their forthcoming new album ‘Bandana’; which will be released as a partnership between Keep Cool/RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment & Madlib Invazion/ESGN. The duo are celebrating the announcement by sharing new song ‘Flat Tummy Tea’; which marks the re-emergence of hip-hop’s unlikely duo and is the first offering from their new collaborative album. A limited-edition 12” of the single is also available at Rappcats.com.
FREDDIE GIBBS & MADLIB first connected on their universally-acclaimed 2014 collaborative album ‘Piñata’; which was celebrated on the street and by critics; landing on numerous year-end lists including Billboard, FACT, Pitchfork and SPIN. The new single picks up where their first album left off; as MADLIB chops up vintage samples into a new complex soundscape that only a lyricist of FREDDIE GIBBS’ calibre could match in flow and tenacity.

The duo’s seamless collaboration juxtaposes two giant talents: MADLIB, the prolific producer with a record collection from all genres and eras; an adept sampler; peer to the late J Dilla (his collaborator on Champion Sound and his musical soulmate); foil for DOOM, hip hop’s Charlie Parker; with whom he created the landmark album ‘Madvillainy’. FREDDIE GIBBS, the gravel-voiced braggadocios rapper; a vocal athlete; a star-on-the-rise knocked off course who refused to give up; and has since offered some of the most compelling rap music in the part ten years.
On ‘Piñata’, MADLIB offered Gibbs, then a gritty street rapper from Gary, Indiana; a chance to expand his captivating storytelling, giving him the dramatic backgrounds for his brutally-honest, soul-scraping lyrics. As a pair, FREDDIE GIBBS & MADLIB exude a natural chemistry and craft an alchemical music; appealing to everyone on the hip-hop spectrum.
