Madlib: Deeper feat. Freddie Gibbs 12″

More heat from the Beat Konducta and LA MC Freddie Gibbs for the final single before the proper full length from the duo (titled Pinata) finally drops. If you you’ve been keeping up with these dudes you already know how it go – real raw raps and some of the illest beats we’ve heard from Madlib in a minute (he’s seriously been squirreling away his best stuff for this project). Check the technique on “Deeper” and “Harold’s,” plus the smoothed out bonus beats “Ups And Downs” and “The Long Walk Home” for some lowrider pimp shit. Also includes instrumentals for “Deeper” and “Harold’s.” Pic sleeve, recommended.
