April 5 street date. "You Only Live 2wice" is the third studio album from Freddie Gibbs. Following a tumultuous time in Gibbs' personal life, the album focuses on Freddie overcoming his obstacles and rising from the ashes anew, as reflected in the album art depicting the resurrection of Jesus. At 8 tracks, the album has no features, instead using the space to let Gibbs bear his soul. The album includes the chilling violin-laced single "Crushed Glass" as well as standout hits "20 Karat Jesus" and"Amnesia." Executive produced by Ben "Lambo" Lambert & Gibbs himself, the album sees production from BADBADNOTGOOD, Kaytranada, Speakerbomb, Dupri, Jay Nari, Teddy Walton, Blair Norf, and more. Back in print for the first time since its initial release and pressed on opaque red vinyl.
April 20 street date. RECORD STORE DAY release. For the 10th anniversary of "Pinata", the album is presented in a green-in-clear with black & white splatter pressing, housed in an exclusive variant cover with a 24" x 24" poster. It's hard to believe it has been ten years since Freddie Gibbs was at a low point in his career, in between labels and surfing couches, and Madlib was a skinny, stoned, and sampling beatmaker trying to forge his way with his own Madlib Invazion imprint as he divested from the label his music built, Stones Throw. "Pinata", their sprawling collaboration, changed the courses of these two musical mavericks. Now, on the 10th year anniversary of its launch, Jeff Jank has designed fresh variant cover art as Madlib Invazion presents the single LP, half speed lacquered version of this hip hop classic.
