From the unlikely
beach town of Oxnard, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the
multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of
the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. With his
childhood buddies in the Lootpack, Madlib quickly made a name
for himself as a rapper, producer, and DJ. In particular, his
expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of
hip-hop's most sought-after producers. An enthusiastic crate
digger, with a deep reverence for jazz and soul, Madlib branched
out into a number of ambitious, engaging solo projects.
Along with DJ Romes and Wild Child, Madlib formed the Lootpack
in their hometown of Oxnard. The trio made their debut on tha
Alkaholiks' 21 and Over in 1993. They continued doing work for
tha Alkaholiks and other artists before releasing their
full-length Soundpieces: Da Antidote six years later. After
hooking up with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib did a
lot of production for Wolf's Stones Throw label. In 1999 the
label released Quasimoto's astonishing The Unseen LP. Doubling
as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals
and production duties on the album, a huge critical success.
While continuing on with a massive release schedule and work
load, Madlib completed a remix/reinterpretation project for Blue
Note, a collaboration with Jay Dee under the Jaylib alias, a
collaboration with MF Doom, produced 1/2 of fellow Lootpack
member Wildchild's solo record and many other remix and producer
tasks.
With each year Madlib has continued to expand his abilities
beyond the core hip hop that he is known for.
