With Bandana set for a wide streaming release June 28, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib (who previously linked for Piñata back in 2014) have unveiled another single, this time featuring Anderson .Paak.

Marking a somewhat different approach from the separate sessions method utilized on Piñata, Gibbs told Complex back in May that the duo's second full-length project benefited from a more collaborative approach to writing and recording.

"This project took a while to complete, so there were times when it was good to get together and discuss things like which beats to use, which features we wanted to get, and go over mixes and edits," Gibbs said, adding that he and Madlib listened to a good deal of Lil Baby during these sessions.

To celebrate the drop of the new project, which Gibbs says represented an artistic "challenge" for both artists, with a string of release shows including stops at the Roxy in Hollywood and the Glass House in Pomona.
