Another in my line of mash-ups in honor of the young jazz rebel, Madlib.
After seeing Elzhi's Undefeated freestyle on Madlib's 'The Comeup', I realized what a great pair these guys made. I would love to see an Elzhi album entirely produced by Madlib (Slum Konducta?), but for now I can settle with a mash-up. It doesn't sound all that great, but you have to listen with an open mind :)
This was made using Madlib's 'Third Ear (More)' and Elzhi's verse on Phat Kat's 'Cold Steel'.
Oddisee is one of the many up-and-coming beatmakers in this new wave of production whose ability and raw talent is truly jaw-dropping. Just skip over Asher Roth's verse. Yuck. Arby Wan Kenobi
Those who follow my YouTube page know I'm a huge fan of Chanes, and this album is another classic drop. Same choppy MP style, same Detroit feel, but with a fresh new sound. Arby Wan Kenobi
