Freddie Gibbs & Madlib’s 1st Video From Their New Album Is Criminal Minded

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib have released the third single (and first music video) to their upcoming Bandana album. A follow-up to 2014’s Pinata, the major label-backed Bandana is arriving on June 28 via Keep Cool/RCA Records. The upcoming collection of songs is confirmed to feature Killer Mike, Pusha-T, Yasiin Bey, and Black Thought, among others. Following February’s “Flat Tummy Tea” and March’s “Bandana,” “Cr*me Pays” proves that this new music from this dynamic duo is worth the wait. The video pulls from 1970s “grind-house” cinema, especially Westerns. Gibbs presents his visions of a nice life after Rap and the streets. The video’s opening flashes back to early 2012’s “Thuggin'” visual as a nightmare from the past. He tends to his zebras, bathes in hot springs, fishes in streams, and enjoys his romantic partner on “Mt. Kane.” Freddie Gibbs Explains Scarface’s Genius In His Favorite Rap Verse (Video) In between the montages of a life of leisure, the nostalgic Madlib beat pauses while Gangsta Gibbs offers some comedy as he bosses around his farm staff. Although the setting is picturesque nature, the rhymes are concrete. Freddie does not deviate from his accounts of hustling, no-strings-attached love, and stacking paper through the treachery. However, even from a remote location, the ESGN leader is still tuned in to the grind. He’s got bundles in the bundles of hay, as it were. The zebra theme, as seen on the artwork for Pinata, continues with this album’s cover (courtesy of Jeff Jank) and visuals. Audiophiles can obtain Bandana on vinyl and CD approximately one month (July 27) following the digital drop. Injury Reserve’s New LP Shows They Deserve A Spot In 2019’s Starting Lineup (Audio)

R. Kelly’s Record Label Has Pressed Mute & Told Him To Get To Steppin’

After more than 25 years and over 15 albums, R. Kelly and his record label have reportedly parted ways. The breaking news comes (January 18) after RCA/Sony Records sources confirmed the development to Billboard. The label recently removed the Chicago, Illinois singer from its website roster.

The move comes two weeks after Lifetime aired the Surviving R. Kelly six-part documentary. Executive produced by dream hampton, the doc interviewed women who have accused the singer of sexual misconduct and pedophilia. Additionally, the piece gathered input from another Sony Records-backed star, John Legend, who vehemently condemned R. Kelly on these allegations. The most-watched Lifetime program in more than two years also examined Kelly’s relationship with his management team and record label. Despite past high-profile trials, the 52-year-old has never been convicted of any sex crimes.

According to Billboard, R. Kelly’s existing catalog will remain in the RCA/Sony system. The singer signed to Jive Records in 1991. He would partner with Public Announcement to begin his recording career before his solo endeavors. Since that label dissolved in the late 2000s, R. Kelly moved to Sony BMG. He has been part of Sony’s RCA Records division since 2012. He released four albums since.

Throughout the legal events and public accusations, Jive and Sony remained committed to R. Kelly, including since last year’s #MuteRKelly campaign and a period where Spotify removed the artist from official playlists. The singer has 12 platinum full-length releases, and two #1 singles. While representatives were attempted to be contacted, the label has not released a statement.
