Madlib


Madlib is a hip hop producer and DJ from LA who's been one of the biggest parts of the underground scene since his days as a part of the Lootpack. His specialty is making groovy, jazzy music that has a psychedelic feel, and hints of world music. He also has an alter ego, Quasimoto, where he raps with a sped up voice, and collaborated with MF Doom and J Dilla as Madvillian and Jaylib, respectively. I feel it's my responsibility to inform you that you should get very stoned to fully appreciate this music, because that is the state in which he works most of the time. His classic albums are Quasimoto- The Unseen (2000), Madvillian- Madvilliany (2004), Jaylib- Champion Sound (2007), and his mix of the Trojan Dub Reggae catalog, Blunted In The Bomb Shelter (as Madlib in 2002). 

Here's a sampling of his work with an MP3 of a live Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop mix he did for radio station KRCW on their Chocolate City Show in 2001 with a lot of good, rare songs and videos for "Come on Feet!" off Quasimoto's the Unseen and "All Caps" off Madvilliany.
