The producer tested a new workflow on his Piñata sequel.
After months (years?) of sample clearances, Madlib and Freddie Gibbs finally released their second collaborative album, Bandana, on Friday.

And while Gibbs has detailed his part of the album’s creation in interviews and statements that date back as far as 2017, Madlib has been characteristically quiet about how he shaped the sounds that would become the unanimously-approved Piñata follow-up. But last night, the Oxnard producer broke his selective silence in a tweet, sharing what could be the only morsel of behind-the-scenes info we’ll get about the album’s sample-heavy production.
