Madlib Discography Portable [ LEGIT » ]

This multi-volume instrumental series functions as a travelogue of Madlib’s musical influences.

What ties the entire Madlib discography together is not a single sound, but a signature approach: the "" ethos. Madlib is famous for his "crate-digging," unearthing the most obscure, dusty records from around the world and transforming them into something entirely new. He has a unique ability to find a two-bar loop that most producers would overlook and turn it into a song with immense feel .

Driven by a desire to play live instruments rather than just sample them, Madlib created Yesterdays New Quintet. He invented a fictional five-piece jazz band consisting of himself playing various instruments under different pseudonyms (such as Monk Hughes, Joe McDuphrey, and Malik Flavors). Their 2001 debut, Angles Without Edges , proved that Madlib could construct a cohesive, deeply moving jazz fusion record entirely on his own. This project eventually expanded into the "Yesterdays Universe," spawning numerous jazz-centric spin-offs. Legendary Collaborations: Madvillain and Jaylib | | 2003 | Champion Sound | The
