Year of The Madlib



Its been a running joke for us for a while that Madlib releases everything that he produces, And with news from Stonesthrow that this year Madlib is going to release an album a month it seems that we weren't that far off. Peep it, Its already April and were up to album number 4.
Up until 2004 you could pretty much pick up any record with a Madlib credit on it and know that it was going to be dope without listening to it. Now days with so much product out i can't wade through all the mediocre tracks to find the good ones. I simply tune out.
While i respect that Stonesthrow let their artists release what they want maybe a little quality control might be in order.
Now having said that Madlib is still cable of doing straight bangers. The new Strong Arm Steady album Search for Stoney Jackson is probably their best release to date. Madlib's chopped soul loop sits perfectly with Phil and Krondon's verses.
Phonte kills it on the his verse and the hook as well.
Peep the J.Rocc ( aka Stoney Jackson) cameo.
