Madvillainy

VINYL FORMAT. Pitchfork's latest favorite is the brilliant collaboration between MF Doom & Madlib's Madvillain. "Trust, you've never heard anything like Madvillian's 'Madvillainy.' Orchestrated by masked underground MC, MF Doom of KMD fame and producer Madlib, each track has a unique sound and style its own. Despite being their first collaborative project, MF and Madlib blend together like peanut butter and jelly. Through the project, Madlib, who plays several different instruments on the album, flexes his musical skills with a variety of bass-heavy, jazz-influenced beats. He even drops a few bars under his Quasimoto alias. Meanwhile, MF's slow, melodic flow fits perfectly with each unorthodox track." --Marcus Davis (The Ave)
