Prolific hip-hop producer Madlib has shared new solo cut ‘Reekyod’.
The producer is one of the most venerated names in his field, working with everyone from MF DOOM through to Four Tet. Continually moving forwards, new single ‘Reekyod’ returns Madlib to solo duties, with profound impact.
Out now, the shuddering beat grips you from the off, the distorted sonics constantly seeking to flip the script. Roots rapper Black Thought graces ‘Reekyod’ with a guest feature, joined by emerging rap luminary Your Old Droog.
“This is strictly for the honorees. Madlib is in his bag per usual and YOD is more than a force to be reckoned with. Simply complex, this piece is high art. Triple threat. Instant classique,” says Black Thought.
“It’s an honour to be inducted into the heavyweight class of hip hop,” Droog shares. “To be able to spar with one of the greatest MC’s on a beat by the greatest producer is a dream come true. Look out for the Madlib x YOD album coming soon.”
Tune in now.
Catch Madlib at London festival Cross The Tracks on May 26th.
