I had the pleasure of hearing a couple joints off of the second Madvillain record last year about this time. And since then I’ve been anxiously anticipating the completion and release of said album because I was blown away. But regardless of how long it takes for us to get product in our hands, I [...]
This track has been on repeat for about 10 minutes straight now; I see no end in the near future. Can I go ahead and call it genius? Madlib absolutely massacres your eardrums with an unpredictable mesh of sounds. Harps, theremins, and spaceships play perfect counterbalances to Badu’s lovely crooning to create a really mellow, [...]
Join Jay Electronica, Bad Lucc & Planet Asia in checking out some of what Stoney Jackson has to offer. For those who don’t know, Stoney Jackson is the name of Strong Arm Steady’s collaboration with Madlib. The project is slated for release next year via Stones Throw. Definitely gonna be some heat on that album. [...]
I got to hear a few new Madvillain joints when I saw Madlib and JRocc in Rome a while back, and it sounded incredible. Well now thanks to JRocc we’ve got some audio to share with you. I will warn you that there’s just a few snippets, and they’re heavily tagged. But, they’re also incredibly [...]
The latest podcast from Stones Throw is the original mixtape from Madlib’s group Lootpack. This goes back to ’99. Lootpack were ill, and it’s nice to hear this rare gem being re-released like this. This was the mixtape (literally on cassette) that Madlib threw together to promote the debut Lootpack album, Soundpieces: Da Antidote. If [...]
Oh No is one of my current favourite producers. He’s more consistent than his brother Madlib (although to be fair, I think Madlib has a bigger catalogue of crazy-good beats). He’s working on a new album to be released through Stones Throw that samples all Ethiopian records. What a great concept; Ethiopian music has some [...]
One of GFC’s lesser known members is putting out his autiobiographical mixtape to help you get better acquainted. Well, it’s nice to meet you Stalley. You’ve got the only beard in hip hop to rival Freeway. And your mixtape is refreshingly good. Stalley tells you all about who he is over a large variety of [...]
Black on Both Sides is widely heralded as one of the greatest underground rap releases in hip hop history; The New Danger isn’t widely regarded at all due to its polarizing nature, and True Magic is generally seen not only as a disappointment, but was taken as a sign of Mos’s ultimate downfall. Well, to [...]
I’m kind of scared to post this because of what happened last time I posted a leak off of this album. But I got the track from Stones Throw, and I’m gonna use their link, so it’s all good. Make sure you head over to their page though to read about their contributions to the [...]
“MadStalley: The Autobiography is the tale of Stalley’s journey from Massillon Ohio to NYC featuring reworkings of Madlib’s Shades of Blue as well as outside production from J Rawls, Precize, Brian Auger and Ahmad Jamal. Label and features to be determined.” Sounds dope to me. Getting on Madlib joints, and bringing Mickey Factz with you [...]
