Piñata was released in March 2014 and boasted appearances from Raekwon, Scarface, Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, Ab-Soul, Domo Genesis, BJ The Chicago Kid, Casey Veggies, Meechy Darko and more.
The pair returned in 2019 with Bandana, which featured a similarly stacked lineup including Pusha T, Black Thought, Yasiin Bey, Killer Mike and Anderson .Paak.
Last year, Freddie Gibbs revealed he was working on four new collaborative projects with Madlib, The Alchemist, Boi-1da and an unnamed artist.
“I’ma hit y’all with some shit that y’all thought y’all was ready for, but you really ain’t ready for,” he told XXL. “Alchemist and Madlib ain’t goin’ nowhere, so keep that in mind. And me and Boi-1da in the studio now real, real, real heavy.”

He added: “I’m making the best music of my life, so it’s no reason to stop. And I’m the king of R&B, so I gotta do that album as well.”
