Bustin’ Open The Piñata
Gibbs will begin in Montreal with a show at Cabaret Underworld on Oct. 24, and play two more shows in Ottawa and Toronto, before returning to the United States for several more dates.
Earlier in 2014, Gibbs dropped Piñata with the help of super producer Madlib, an album that has garnered positive responses from publications such as Pitchfork, NME, and Rolling Stone.
After teasing the collaborative project with singles such as “Thuggin’”, “Shame”, and “Deeper”, the rest of Piñata is definitely worth consuming, as Gibbs delivers beat after beat, whether solo (“Harold’s”, “Knicks”, “Uno”), or on head-bopping collaborations including Raekwon, Scarface, Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul, BJ The Chicago Kid, and Danny Brown.
Recently, Gibbs announced that he will releasing an EP on November 18th, titled the “Knicks Remix EP”. The EP will feature instrumentals, a track called “Home”, featuring BJ the Chicago Kid, and a remix to “Knicks”, a cut from Piñata, with guest verses from Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$, and Ransom, and its instrumental.
