Our Take
Our Take
MADLIB Before The Verdict is a whirlwind of sonic experimentation, with the legendary producer blending a plethora of genres and influences to create a truly unique listening experience. From jazzy horns to boom-bap beats, this album has it all.
The opening track, "Before The Verdict," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its hypnotic groove and infectious hook. MADLIB's production is as always top-notch, with intricate layers of samples and drums that keep you on your toes throughout.
Tracks like "Face The Sun" and "Long Awaited" showcase MADLIB's versatility as a producer, with the former featuring a soulful vocal performance from the talented Frank Nitt, while the latter sees the producer delving into more experimental territory with glitchy synths and off-kilter rhythms.
But it's on tracks like "The Science" and "What U Call That" where MADLIB truly shines, with his signature off-kilter production style taking centre stage. The beats are raw and unpolished, yet undeniably infectious, making for a truly electrifying listening experience.
In conclusion, MADLIB Before The Verdict is a testament to the producer's innovative spirit and unparalleled creativity. With its genre-bending sound and infectious grooves, this album is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something fresh and exciting.
