Freddie Gibbs and Madlib will be dropping the instrumentals from their Bandana album at the end of this month.
The two collaborators, who previously worked together on 2014's Piñata, released Bandana in June - their second collaborative LP.
Bandana featured huge singles like "Crime Pays", "Gat Damn", "Giannis", and more.
Last night (1 January), Freddie Gibbs announced that the duo will drop Bandana Beats - the instrumentals from their most recent record.
