More Info
Originally released in 2013, Yessir Whatever collects 12-tracks made by Madlib and Quasimoto over a roughly twelve-year period. A few were released on rare & out-of-print vinyl, while a few others had previously been unreleased. Take two & pass. Yessir… whatever.
Quasimoto first came to life on Madlib's personal beat tapes in the producer's early years in Oxnard CA – private music, not meant for release, made for himself and a small circle of local smokers and their car stereos.
The “bad character” MC alter ego of producer Madlib, Quasimoto released two albums on Stones Throw in the early 2000s: the underground hip-hop cult classic The Unseen (2000) and The Further Adventures of Lord Quas (2005).
The Unseen was among the new decade's first sleeper hits, ranking on Spin’s year end list at a time when the producer and label were unknown outside hip-hop DJ circles. The Further Adventures of Lord Quas continued to build Madlib's reputation as one of the most creative and fearlessly skewed creators in hip-hop.
In addition to his work as a solo artist, Madlib has collaborated with Four Tet, Freddie Gibbs, J Dilla (as Jaylib), and most famously with MF DOOM (as Madvillain).
Yessir Whatever collects 12 Quasimoto tracks recorded over a roughly twelve-year period. The album is now released in a new silver LP edition, with a silver foil peel-off sticker revealing Quasimoto’s guts.
