J. Rocc Teases New Madvillain on EVR
- story Peter Macia
J. Rocc of the World Famous Beat Junkies rolled through Fat Beats Radio on East Village Radio last week and apparently decided to open a Pandora’s Box of rap nerdery by playing heretofore unheard new Madvillain songs. Listen to that section of the show below and listen to the whole show on East Village Radio here. He plays so little of each song that it’s hard to get too excited about it, but that shouldn’t stop a sizable chunk of the internet from getting carpal tunnel over the possibilities of a new Madlib-Doom album.

Freeload: Mor Thiam, “Ayo Ayo Nene” MP3
- story THE FADER
From Egon’s blog of Madlib’s European Tour:
Meanwhile, we got to browse through Gerald’s frighteningly diversified collection and peep the entire Mor Thiam album alongside Mehr Pooya’s Iranian album – including his 10 minute cover of Dennis Coffey’s “Scorpio.” Madlib ended up with one of his most wanted albums – Stefano Torrossi’s “Feelings,” and I ended up in the same place I was last year – with the Mor Thiam album on hold, and not a trade closer to getting Akon’s dad’s debut in my greedy palms.
While it is mindboggling to imagine how rare and expensive Madlib or Egon’s most wanted records actually are, they were kind enough to post up this classic song by Papa Thiam from the brand new and totally excellent Spiritual Jazz: Esoteric, Modal and Deep Jazz from the Undergound, 1968-77. We highly recommend this comp for those times when officemates/roommates/random grumps are wild salty. Dilute the salt with powerful positive vibery!

Video: DJ Dusk’s Rootdown Soundclash
- story THE FADER
Mochilla just sent over the promo for DJ Dusk’s Rootdown Soundclash which collects the footage B+ and Coleman shot at the LA club from 2001 to 2003 of the producer battles organized by the late great DJ Dusk. The DVD is divided into three rounds of live beatmaking, pitting Madlib up against Cut Chemist, will.i.am versus Thes One in an epic clash of hatted, shirts offed, silk-vested bananadrama, and a final round of Ohno busting it up with Exile. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to attend to the storied Rootdown Thursday night parties, this will bring back good memories, and if you haven’t it will probably just make you wonder why you hate on LA so much—people have fun there!

Audio: Erykah Badu, “The Healer” (prod Madlib)
- story THE FADER
Erykah Badu is releasing her new album New AmErykah late next month, and to be honest, we weren’t expecting anything too crazy. Trust, we’d pre-slotted her into the cd carousel between Sade and Bilal because WE ARE TRYING TO GET OURS, but this sounds more like Lee Perry. Produced by treemaster extraordinaire Madlib, “Healer” has Badu babytalking some shit about Ras Tafari and quoting Dead Prez, ie STONER JAM. We’re into it. You can check a live performance of another Madlib production from the album, “Real Thing,” from the Stones Throw show in NYC back in December right here.
UPDATE: Removed by Universal/Motown, but it still jams.
