In an interview with German magazine Juice, Freddie revealed the guests who will be appearing on it and the lineup surely looks solid: Pusha T, Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey, Killer Mike, Black Thought and Anderson .Paak. Yes, crazy. “Those are all legends, guys who I have a lot of respect for and guys who respect me in return. At first I didn’t want to have any features on the record, but that it did end up happening is a blessing,” Gangsta Gibbs said in the chat, a photo of which can be seen below (thanks to Reddit for the translation).
He went on to explain that Killer Mike and Pusha T are featured on the same track. “The track with Pusha and Killer Mike turned into my favorite song – and Pusha didn’t need need to do me that favor. I think there’s a lot of other MCs that are too scared to be on a song with me. Look at the Freshman cover that I was on: Aside from Jay Rock I didn’t work with any of those guys,” he continued.
The rap duo, popularly known as MadGibbs, released their joint album Pinata in 2014 to a great reception. There’s no release date for Bandana yet but last month, the duo dropped the title track and teased an April release.
