W.l.i.b Am. King Of The Wigfli
Rapster
HIP HOP
The highly anticipated next edition in the ‘Beat Generation’ series will be handled by none other than the legendary MADLIB.
Fitting comfortably into a series whose previous contributors include the late JAY DEE, DJ JAZZY JEFF, KENNY DOPE and PETE ROCK - Madlib delivers one of his most straight forward neck snapping hip-hop outings to date. ‘WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip’ features TA LIB KWELI, MURS, GUILTY SIMPSON, OH NO, MED and more!
‘WLIB AM:King of the Wigflip’ marks the end of an era. “As Dirty Harry said, ‘a man has to realize his limitations’” is how BARELY BREAKING EVEN (BBE) cofounder and current label head PETER ADARKWAH explains the successful ‘Beat Generation’ series coming to a close. “Madlib was not consciously meant to be last in the series,” he continues, “but when considering the producer to which he is most often associated – the late J Dilla – it is without question the proper closure.”
MADLIB is a fitting piece in the Beat Generation puzzle, which has run the spectrum of top-flight producers with legends (MARLEY MARL, Pete Rock, Jazzy Jeff), young lions (DJ SPINNA, KING BRITT, WILL.I.AM), and the incomparable Jay Dee aka J Dilla, whose ‘Welcome to Detroit’ was the first artist album to be commissioned by BBE. Question: What do you become when somebody gives you complete freedom? Short answer: Madlib – maverick, prolific, and tirelessly uninhibited.
“Blacktronica should be the future,” Adarkwah declares, and he should know best, for it is Blacktronica that has already helped define his storied label’s past and present.
