Madlib is a multi-genre producer, MC, instrumentalist, and avid crate digger and record collector. Born on October 24, 1973 in Oakland, California, he comes from a talented musical family with his father being soul singer Otis Jackson Sr., his brother being Oh No, his uncle being jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis, and his cousin being Kan Kick.

Rising to prominence in the late-'90s hip-hop scene, Madlib quickly made a name for himself as a rapper, producer, and DJ. With his childhood friends in the Lootpack, he showcased his expansive style and deft touch for composition. As an enthusiastic crate digger with a deep reverence for jazz and soul music, Madlib embarked on ambitious solo projects that captivated audiences.

In addition to collaborating with artists like DJ Romes and Wild Child in the Lootpack, Madlib worked extensively with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw label. He achieved critical success through albums such as Quasimoto's "The Unseen" where he handled vocals and production duties under both himself and his alter ego Quasimoto. Madlib also explored jazz through his Yesterday's New Quintet project where he played all the instruments himself.

Madlib Invazion is an American independent hip-hop label launched in 2010 by Los Angeles-based producer and DJ Madlib. The label opened with the Madlib Medicine Show series of albums, which was completed in 2012 with a total of 13 CDs, six LPs, and six limited edition LPs released. Another ongoing album series on the label is called Rock Konducta, featuring hip-hop instrumentals produced by Madlib using samples from various rock genres. The imprint has also published records for the duo MadGibbs, including their critically acclaimed album Piñata in 2014.

Featuring Danny Brown, Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul, Polyester the Saint, BJ The Chicago Kid, Big Time Watts, G-Wiz, Casey Veggies, Sulaiman, Meechy Darko &amp; Freddie Kane. Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona. Piñata, a 17 track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining an at times stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer. Piñata is "a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax," says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city previously best known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted funk, soul and prog musical tapestries.
