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 vinyl
edition, with a silver foil peel-off sticker revealing
Quasimoto’s guts.
