Madlib & Freddie Gibbs: Pinata Cassette Tape

Limited cassette version of ‘Lib and Gibbs full length collab debut! Freddie Gibbs describes Pinata best – “a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax” (or in this case, magnetic tape). With Madlib providing the beats and Gibbs dropping real, raw raps, this can’t be truer. You’ve already heard heard their past collab EPs (if not get on that!), so it’s about time we get the full dose. Here’s the whole story with plenty of guest MC’s from veteran rhyme spitters like Raekwon and Scarface, to young bucks like Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Casey Veggies, Domo Genesis, Mac Miller and many more. 17 tracks in all.
