Man, I don’t know where to begin but Madlib is one of my top producers…in ANY GENRE. Honestly, he reminds me of myself (big comparison, but come on y’all I’m only scratching the surface as far as my musical exploits go…check me in the fall on some OTHER ish) and that’s a great thing when I listen to music. He makes music that makes me skip social events on the weekend because I’d rather hear what he made. Beat Konducta. Jaylib. Madvillainy. Yesterday’s New Quintet. Lord Quas. ILL.
Its even crazier to me because he has the whole multiple persona thing going on so when Zion’s Soul comes out I might be called a copycat (Zion’s Soul is Marc Williams, Willie Jones, ILL M. Will as a production team and soul/funk/jazz group…yeah we takin it there). However, Madlib is still great. I had heard of em a little bit but the article in SCRATCH (still pissed its not a mag anymore) about him in May/June 2005 is what really sparked the interest. Anyway, go BUY his music but I’ll give you one to grow on.
