Today I learned that Freddie Gibbs recorded ‘Bandana’ at the same time and at the same studio as Nipsey Hussle when he recorded ‘Victory Lap.’ They would hang out in the break room in between takes and chop it up about life. Gibbs said they never made any songs together because they connected on a human level outside of rap: “it wasn’t a music relationship.” The two were both featured on the 2010 XXL Freshman Cover.
“When I think about Bandana, all I really think about is Nipsey.”
