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.

Gil Evans to Miles Davis…. Holger Czukay to the ensemble known as Can….Jean Claude Vannier to Serge Gainsbourg on Histoire de Melody Nelson. That’s the only way to explain the specificity of Four Tet and Madlib’s collaboration, in this special album that showcases a two-decade long friendship that has resulted in an album that follows Madlib’s classics like Quasimoto’s The Unseen, Madvillainy and his Pinata and Bandana albums with Freddie Gibbs. 

“A few months ago I completed work on an album with my friend Madlib that we’d been making for the last few years. He is always making loads of music in all sorts of styles and I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album. Not made into beats for vocalists to use but instead arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish. I put this concept to him when we were hanging out eating some nice food one day and we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision.” Kieren Hebden AKA Four Tet
