The album, recorded while Madlib was on mushrooms, was met with critical acclaim and was regarded in hip hop circles as the album that showed a way out of the Golden Era of Hip Hop and onwards into unchartered waters. His first release under the guise of Quasimoto The Unseen was in 1999.

A dark but amusing character that Madlib has turned to again and again throughout his career. Their debut LP introduced the signature Madlib style to the world as well as the character Quasimoto. His father, a respected jazz musician, started an independent label (Crate Diggas Palace Records) in 1996 to promote the crew and Lootpack soon caught the attention of Peanut Butter Wolf at Stone’s Throw who signed them up. He began making music in his hometown with the group Lootpack in the early 1990s, an act who worked with another well known troupe the Alkoholics. Otis Jackson Jr (for that is he) was born in 1973 in Oxnard, California and has recorded as Quasimoto, Yesterday’s New Quintet and countless other aliases and has collaborated with Mos Def, De La Soul, Ghostface Killah, The Alkaholiks, Talib Kweli, MF DOOM and the late J Dilla to name but a few. He is a DJ, mixer, remixer, rapper, producer and musician and is notoriously prolific – often releasing several albums a year. Always moving forwards, using mellow threads of ideas and invention to create tracks that leave others way behind.

If that’s the case then Madlib is surely the Miles Davis. Annie Mac famously argued that Flying Lotus was the Jimi Hendrix of the electronic generation.
