During his set with Madlib at San Bernardino, CA’s Paid Dues Music Festival this past Saturday, Gangsta Gibbs brought out BJ The Chicago Kid to perform “Shame”. If you’re wondering when the MadGibbs LP (entitled Cocaine Piñata) is dropping, it’s said to be released later this year. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

Over the weekend, two of Chicago’s finest (Chance and BJ The Chicago Kid) hit the studio together to work on what sounds like revised version of this joint that Chance debuted at Bottom Lounge last week. Luckily, our homie Wavy Greenberg was on hand to catch it all on film for the latest installment of his In The Studio With series.
