This is the first of a one-a-month, twelve-CD series from Madlib on his own imprint, Madlib Invazion. Madlib Medicine Show No. 1: Before The Verdict is a full 17-track hip-hop album with original tracks and "the OJ Simpson remixes" featuring Guilty Simpson. Consider it a prelude to Madlib & Guilty's collab OJ Simpson.
There are two brief guest appearances by MED and J Dilla, in a short, previously unreleased interlude dating back to his & Madlib's first collaboration. An 8-page booklet with track list is included in the CD.
Worldwide release of Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 (LP, Digital, CD) will be January 2010. The CD is available now at stonesthrow.com. We are currently planning for the vinyl edition of Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 to be a hand-screened, limited edition release - details TBA. Madlib Medicine Show No. 2, Flight to Brazil, is a mixtape of Brazilian jazz, funk, prog-rock, folk and psychedelia. Later releases will include Beat Konducta in Africa.
CD Instructions: 1 – tear off and dispose of the yellow title card, which has been attached for “retail and marketing purposes” 2 – play loud 3 – play repeatedly
