Madlib & Freddie Gibbs - Deeper, 12" Vinyl
Madlib & Freddie Gibbs - Deeper, 12" Vinyl
Following Thuggin & Shame, this is the final 12-inch vinyl EP before Freddie Gibbs & Madlib release their collaborative album, Piñata.
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.
