The instrumental album of the year.

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib have established themselves as one of hip-hop's most trusted pairings, having joined forces for not one but two classic albums. In fact, last year's Bandana was strong enough to be deemed our official album of the year, a masterful body of work from the collaborators. And while many were stricken by Gibbs' magnificent lyricism and passionate delivery, Madlib's work as the chief producer should not go undervalued. In case you need a reminder, the pair have you covered on that front.
