AUDIO: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Deeper EP

freddie-madlib-deeperFreddie Gibbs and Madlib surprise fans and deliver yet another short collaborative EP titled Deeper.  Check out the preview below to the title track and CLICK HERE to purchase the Deeper EP in full which boasts a few songs and instrumentals.  Look out for Freddie and Madlb’s official LP Piñata which is set to finally release on February 4 next year.  See what Freddie and company had to say on the matter below.

On the Deeper EP, Gibbs showcases the yin and yang of heartbreak and anger on the title track, in a lovelorn narrative that meshes perfectly with the weepy strings and insistent rhythm of Madlib’s beat. We haven’t heard something like this in rap music since Nas’ “One Love,” nearly twenty years ago. The b-side, “Harolds” – exclusive to this EP – gives Gibbs a chance to ride some low down Beat Konducta-fueled funk in a nostalgic ode to the Chicago chicken-shack that served as the backdrop to many of his seminal life experiences.

Piñata is scheduled for February 4, 2014 on Madlib Invazion. The album will feature Raekwon, Scarface, Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Joey Bada$$, Ab Soul, BJ The Chicago Kid, Meech of Flatbush Zombies, Casey Veggies, Mac Miller, Polyester the Saint, G-Wiz.
