It's easy, when looking at the "hit-parade", to believe that hip-hop is dead and buried. Too many artists like to focus on their floor length mink coats and posturing. However, there are those on the fringes keeping rap music well and truly alive. One man single handedly taking to the challenge is the bizarre genius Madlib (which stands for Mind Altering Demented Lessons In Beats).

Madlib is a California-based DJ, multi-instrumentalist, rapper and producer who, like all good rappers, has a vast array of pseudonyms. His main output is through the amazing, funky shuffles of Quasimoto, which sees Madlib taking on two personas, one in his normal voice, and the other in an oddball squeaky drawl. Everything that Madlib touches turns to gold... so click over and witness some of his incredible work.
