Madlib – Beat Konducta, Vol. 5-6 (2-LP Vinyl)

$39.95

Madlib and J Dilla shared one of hip-hop's most profound creative friendships, two Stones Throw architects who pushed beat-making into genuinely uncharted territory together. These suites, named in playful tribute to Dilla's love of Bill Cosby and Bill Withers, capture Madlib processing grief the only way he knows how, through the crates, letting the music do the talking that words couldn't.

On Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: Dil Cosby & Dil Withers Suite (both originally released as separate LPs in 2008), Madlib pays tribute to his late friend and collaborator J Dilla with contributions from J. Rocc. 42 soulful, floating instrumentals bid farewell to Jay Dee. Long out of print, both volumes are pressed on 2LP for the first time ever, on metallic silver and gold vinyl, and housed in a gatefold jacket.
