Product Description

Madlib follows Flight To Brazil, with the third installment of the Medicine Show series and the fourth installment in his Beat Konducta Series: Beat Konducta in Africa. Previous entries include: Beat Konducta: Movie Scenes, Beat Konducta: in India and Beat Konducta: Dil Cosby and Dil Withers Suites. Beat Konducta In Africa contains over forty instrumental hip hop tracks produced and mixed by Madlib. This epic "beat tape" springs from obscure vinyl gems culled from the afro-beat, funk, psych, garage-rock, prog-rock and soul movements of countries as diverse as Zambia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana and the Ivory Coast. The Madlib Medicine Show series is a combination of Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton stack of vinyl.

This review is from: Medicine Show No. 3: Beat Konducta In Africa (Audio CD)

I'm still pretty new to his work, but I'm already sure that Madlib is a genius. He's also a workhorse, having already released half-a-dozen projects in 2010 including Strong Arm Steady's terrific "In Search of Stoney Jackson" and a couple psychedelic-jazz recordings.

Along with the Strong Arm Steady album (fully produced by Madlib), this is my favorite release of the year so far. It's a rich, lengthy excursion into dusty old African jazz, rock, soul records and a whole universe of other sounds, all chopped and mixed together to form a beautifully-crafted hip hop instrumental "experience." Last year's Beat Konducta album, the Tribute to J Dilla one, was my favorite of the series and this is right up there with it.
