About

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib recently delivered a much-anticipated Tiny Desk concert that showcased their unique blend of hip hop. The concert, which had been a year in the making due to Madlib's insistence on playing with El Michels Affair, a vintage funk and soul band, was well worth the wait. Gibbs' impressive style and Madlib's analog head-nodders came together seamlessly, starting with the track "Education" from their latest project Bandana.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, also known as MadGibbs, are an American hip hop duo formed in 2011, consisting of Freddie Gibbs from Gary, Indiana, on the mic, and Madlib from Oxnard, California, on production. With two studio albums and multiple EPs under their belt, their music presents a fusion of Gibbs' skillful lyricism and Madlib's eclectic beats.

Notable highlights from the Tiny Desk performance included pianist Marco Benevento's captivating opening, Gibbs' masterful delivery on tracks like "Education," and Madlib's unique choice of instruments like the thunder tube and vintage electric bongos. The duo's ability to captivate the audience with their energy and musical prowess made the concert a memorable experience for all NPR attendees.
