Jan 18, 2018 During a live interview with the Red Bull Music Academy today, Madlib announced that he’s working on his second collaboration album with Freddie Gibbs, titled Bandana. < link removed > Update: "I wrote this album and another album when I was locked up; I wrote the Madlib album too." So what’s next for you? "I got a lot of stuff recorded, man, so I don’t even know if there’s a need to get back in the studio. Y’all pretty much know that I’m about to drop the bomb with this Madlib s---. That’s rumored, you know what I mean, allegedly I’m about to drop that—when Otis is ready then I’m gonna drop that. Other than that I’m just chillin’ right now, I’m enjoying life, I’m enjoying my freedom. I’m not taking a day of that for granted no more." http://www.complex.com/music/2017/04/freddie-gibbs-interview-you-only-live-2wice Update 2: < link removed > “I’m working on Bandana right now,” he told Zane Lowe. “It’s actually almost done. I think we’re back in the mixing process right now, but it’s definitely coming soon. I can’t tell y’all when we’re ‘gon drop it, but we’re just gon’ hit y’all out the blue.”
Jan 20, 2018 Bruh, Madlib is neck n' neck with Dilla in terms of the greats. This s---'s gonna be classic, I assure you of that. He molds his production style perfectly around the artist that he's working with. Did it for DOOM, did it once for Freddie, etc. I'm hyped for this record fam. Real Hip-Hop s---!
