Beat Konducta Vol.5-6

Madlib

Stones Throw Records

I introduce to you Madlib's Beat Konducta 5-6.

This album takes you on a hip-hop road trip of a producer's artist masterpiece.

His production proves that hip-hop music can create a strong, positive presence in the face of negative imagery, and throw away disposable beats of popular rap tracks.

Through his beat selection, samples and use of live instrumentation, he paints an audio picture of hip-hop history.

If there weren't music producers like Madlib, Prince Paul, Maw and others, our rich music history would be lost in a moldy basement, or landfill.

Madlib sparks inspiration in his beats for others to examine and elevate their game.

When I spin at nonhip-hop events, I play Madlib and other artists of his genre, and I get people asking “Who is this?” as if it is something new.

This lets you know the more people who hear this type of production work, there's hope that the market will continue to grow.

From the U.S. to Europe and everywhere in between, Madlib is viewed as a leading force in hip-hop music production.

And more than hip-hop heads are finding inspiration in Madlib's music.
