Madlib fans will recognize his famous Quasimoto character astride the zebra (a Piñata motif), with a broken piñata visible in the lower right-hand corner.
While Bandana is still without an official release date, Hot New Hip-Hop reports that it’s expected to drop in June, with features from Anderson .Paak, Black Thought, Pusha T, and more. They also reveal that Piñata is the second in a planned “MadGibbs” trilogy, which will eventually be wrapped up with a project called Montana.
The first track from Bandana is “Flat Tummy Tea.” Listen to it below.
