Freddie Gibbs and Madlib are stoking the flames of hype for their Bandana album. The duo has dropped the LP’s title track just a few weeks after making their return with the “Flat Tummy Tea” single.
The newest MadGibbs collaboration features an assist from Assassin. Although “Bandana” is the title track of the album, it will actually serve as a bonus song when the project drops later this year.
No release date has been announced for the Bandana LP as of Tuesday (March 5). The project will be the follow-up to duo’s first collaborative album Piñata, which dropped in 2014.

Hell motha fuckin yeah!!!
Fire!!!! Can’t wait for the album. The first album was so dope, I still bump it now.
About time!
About time!
About time!
That is one interesting ass album cover.
Just… Drop… The… Album… Please! Up until now there hasn’t been much of a grand slam type of album put out this year hiphop wise. A few hit and misses, a few solid but nothing stellar.
Let’s go!!
mouth is watering jack….bring it
I don’t like anderson .paak a very-much overrated person
AS A PAAK FAN, I FEEL LIKE HE FELL OFF QUITE A BIT VS BEING OVERRATED.
Both of y’all are tripping he’s nice
Drop that shit! Album of the year already lol
He’s prob right though. The fuck has really come out this year that’s essential? Not much competition for these two at the moment.
Let’s be honest. Album of the year WILL NOT be posted on this site at all. The best hiphop albums of each year go virtually unnoticed by the mainstream.
Need this and Griselda debut to drop! Been pretty meh year for hiphop so far
I hope this is game changing. I’ve been waiting for this for a while. I’m defjniteky gonna buy it
No doubt this will be one of the best day for hip hop this year
Gonna be trash
your mom should have swallowed your punk ass
The guy is a silly little troll using my handle on here for whatever reason. Stupid kid bs I suppose.
Anyway – hugely looking forward to Bandana; if it’s half as good as Piñata (and with the songs released so far have no reason to believe it won’t be) we’re looking at one of the best albums of the year, in any genre,
Pay no attention to the silly little punk trying his hardest to troll here – just goes to show what a sad case he is.
I’m the real AndyC84. I don’t know who these imposters are above. Stupid kid trolls.
Solid features, dope producer and ill emcee equals an automatic purchase my guy!
Part 3 is gonna be called Brick, bet.
It’s not. Read the interviews it’s a trilogy. Part 3 is Montana
Hope the Bandana title track will be bonus track somewhere, it was hard.
Amen. Crazy to think they’d omit that, really is.
i Cant. Stop. Playing. Cataracts.
IGOR still AOTY for me tho this is definitely second been waiting forever for this
IGOR still AOTY for me tho this is just asking to be a contender and I’ve been waiting forever for this
Ok it forced me to comment another time idk if this is my trash phone or if this site needs a good fixing
Igor is hot garbage, jackass wannabe Andre 3000 shit 20 years later. Dude is gay, we get it. Skinny jean needs buy that bullshit. It isn’t Hip-Hop. You might as well bump some Drake.
Godfather Pt 2..Perfect analogy. Both are great but the 2nd exceed’s a little more.
This shit right here is ? ?this is freedie classic album right here madlib crazy on the boards this is just a very good album wow ?
AOTY. All flame emojis. Practice & Cataracts & Soul Right are the top tracks
So fucking dope. This what hip-hop is supposed to sound like!
everything i wanted and more. thank you Madlib, thank you Gangsta Gibbs. y’all did it again
Wow, just fuckin wow! These muthafuckas need to release yearly albums, I am tired of all this other shit.
I really don’t like this album, and I’m not a fan of Freddie Gibbs, but I still think it’s high quality rap music. I wish I liked it, but it just doesn’t click with my tastes. None the less, 5/5 album quality wise. This is what hiphop is supposed to be.
This album is crazy! Beats and rhymes on a top tier level! 4.5/5
The track Soul Right is my shit
MadGibbs at the top of their game! AOTY!
Old Freddie Gibs. Glad those sexual assault charges were dropped, you’re still facing a raaype charge in the EU though. I guess cops are racist out there too… the album is meh. Madlibs beats are always on point, and as far as I know, he has never been charged with raaype and sexual assault in two different countries on the same tour.
No he isn’t you fucking clown. That was on 2016 and he was fully acquitted.
Lying little punk ass bitch. I hope Freddie Gibbs Kruger come in and fingee fuck yo punk ass with his salad finger knife dick hands. Startin bitch rumors like a bitch. DJ Khaled loving walking abortion.
There aint no Butts, just a dick in yo ass fool.
I just cant believe this , it’s unbelievable ??
