A half-hour of rarities and unreleased beats.

With Bandana set for an imminent arrival, Madlib is once again dominating the world's collective beat consciousness. And while we'll have to wait a bit longer for the producer's highly-anticipated sequel to the 2014 collaborative masterpiece with Freddie Gibbs, Rappamelo has gathered a fresh batch of rarities for his latest compilation of Madlib's expansive catalog.
