Madlib, Blu & MED – ‘Knock Knock’ feat. MF Doom

Trouble Knows Me – ‘Streetsweeper’ (Madlib remix)
Madlib has remixed his own joint Streetsweeper, taken from the recent Trouble Knows Me project with Sam Herring. Its dope, albeit very short, and you can check it out below.
Madvillain – ‘Untitled’/’Travis 911’
What appears to be two new Madvillain tracks have surfaced online, and now us and everyone else is losing their shit. No word if this really is the first taste of a new project from MF Doom and Madlib, but here’s to hoping it is. Listen to both tracks on the links below.
Moka Only – ‘Chicanery’
Taken from new album Magickal Weirdness, the latest video from Moka Only sees him go cratediggin’ at the record store. It reminds us of those Loop Digga records Madlib made with Lootpack and Quasimoto, and that certainly isn’t a bad thing. Watch below for yourself, and keep a look out for that new album.
Madlib & Sam Herring – ‘Trouble Knows Me’
Madlib is back with a new project which, after a few days of teasing, now transpires is a collaboration with rapper Sam Herring. Its dope as always from the master, and you can listen on the link to Rappcats below. Look out for more on the full EP in the coming weeks.
