"Madlib (Mind Altering Demented Lessons In Beats)[1] (born Otis Jackson Jr. on October 24, 1973 in Oxnard, California, United States) is a California-based DJ, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, and producer. Known under a plethora of pseudonyms, he is one of the most prolific and acclaimed hip hop producers of the 2000s and has collaborated with myriad hip hop artists, including The Alkaholiks, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, MF DOOM (as Madvillain) and the late J Dilla (as Jaylib)."
From DustyGroove.com:
"Hazy beatcraft steeped in Indian soundtrack style funk, strings and percussion from the indefatigable Madlib -- Volume 3 in the increasingly adventurous and conceptual outings of the Beat Konducta! This time out Madlib, er, Beat Konducta is conducting beats, strings & things from India and/or otherwise East -- but the way in which the beats bluntly thump is quintessential Madlib -- you know it and love it from the first beat! 'Lib really breathes fresh life into this approach -- going miles deeper than anyone out there doing the Bollywood-hip hop hybrid -- coming up with a sound all his own. Masterful! "Onthanewthing", "Indian Deli", "Rumble", "Dancing Girls Theme", "Piano Garden", "Dark Alley Incidental Music", "Early Party", "Fifth Chant", "The Rip Off (Scene 3)", and "Sitar Ride"."
This looks really dope. A hip-hop musical exploration into many intricate areas of Indian music.
I also love the effort put into the album cover, which does resember old school Bollywood movie posters:
