At the San Francisco date on Madlib’s Medicine ShowTour, the producer announced a collaborative project with the rapper Freddie Gibbs and debuted two songs from this EP, a six-track record released on Madlib's own Madlib Invazion label, ahead of the duo’s as-yet untitled album planned for release in first quarter of 2012. For Madlib, this marks another entry in an exciting series of collaborative albums that he has created with the likes of DOOM (‘Madvillainy’), the late J Dilla (‘Jaylib’) and Strong Arm Steady (‘In Search Of Stoney Jackson’). For Gibbs, the album serves as somewhat of a departure, giving the LA-based rapper a chance to stretch out over the Beat Konducta’s lush musical tapestry, his rough-hewn rhymes landing atop smoldering soul and jagged psychedelia.
