Freddie Gibbs and Madlib are arguably the best rapper/producer combo of this decade. Over the past month and a half, they've been teasing the release of the sequel to 2014's Pinata. "Flat Tummy Tea" and "Bandana" were the first two singles off of the project but neither Madlib or Gibbs have confirmed a release date for the project. On Gibbs recent appearance on #NoWahala podcast, the rapper shared exclusive details on the project including when they plan on dropping, Bandana.

Bandana has been a work in progress over the past few years. Gibbs spoke to the #NoWahala hosts Tune Day and Bawo and detailed his upcoming project with Madlib. The rapper didn't mention who was on the upcoming project but he did reveal that he had a big feature on the project. He also teased that the third single off of the project is set to drop next month right before Bandana drops.

"Probably April before the album come out. Right before the album come out," he said.

Bandana marks a new era in Freddie Gibbs career. After spending the past decade releasing music independently, the rapper recently announced his new major label deal with KeepCool/RCA Records. Bandana is set to be released as a partnership between Keep Cool/RCA Records & Madlib Invazion/ESGN.
