Madlib... man where do I start? This dude has been makin beats for somethin like a decade now. His parents were musicians and his younger brother's even signed to the same label (Stones Throw Records). He's released a number of albums under various aliases (Yesterdays New Quintet, Quasimoto, DJ Rels) as well as a collaboration album with both MF DOOM (as MADVILLAIN) and with the great late J Dilla of Slum Village (as Jaylib). He's produced entire albums for some artists, dropped a remix of the Blue Note catalogue (Shades of Blue) and even released solo EPs as each of the 'members' of YNQ. There's a bunch of projects I'm leaving out, but the reason I'm makin this post is cause he just put out 3 new albums in the past like, 2 months? He collab'ed with J Rocc to put together Beat Konducta Volumes 5 & 6 (a tribute to Dilla) and they do not disappoint. In between the 5th and 6th volume releases he also dropped WLIB King of the Wigflip (Madlib on the beats featuring artists such as Guilty Simpson, Defari, Prince Po and more) Give these tracks a listen n go n cop all three albums.
Throw a lil bonus in there, this is the first Madlib beat I ever heard. It was used by some local kids from the city in their skate video like 5 or 6 years ago?
