Prolific is an understatement when it comes to the world of Madlib. Diving in head first, people might know him from his most recent work with Freddie Gibbs. Or they might have heard about his acid tinged alter-ego Quasimoto in a dorm room or coffee shop (ahem, imagine you weren't born post 2000). Going further back, a lot first learned of 'The Beatkonducta' with the legendary Hip Hop trio, Lootpack. Regardless of where you learned of him or how you came across any of the ever growing catalog of creations, it is a safe bet there is almost ALWAYS going to be something you never knew was another 'Madlib Invazion'. 

That said, over the last few years I've happily dug around for the often overlooked, or dare I say, forgotten (dude is P-R-O-L-I-F-I-C, no diss) Jazz catalog Madlib has managed to pump out. 'Rugged Tranquility' is my attempt at finding some of the deeper cuts in the abyss, all the while celebrating 20 years of Otis Jackson Jr's Jazz masterpieces. - PK

We had another Big Crown Pop Up Record Fair / Food Drive back on July 15th. Another great day in Brooklyn, Big Crown style…Heavy duty amounts of records as well as sets from some of NY’s finest DJs. Thank you very much to the DJs who came through and blessed us with music; Queen Majesty, Chairman Mao, Greg Caz, DJ Preservation, MF Classy Chris, Jah One, and El Michels…We had to break the recording of the sets into two parts because it is long as hell. This part is DJ Preservation, El Michels, Chairman Mao, and the first part of Queen Majesty’s set. Stay tuned for part 2.
