Bursting through with yet more work from what seems like a never ending cache of primed material, Oxnard, CA native and well known L.A. beatsmith Madlib is tapped by a group of brash upstarts to bind his sample heavy and cultivated production with their underground sound to create a highly memorable collabo LP titled "In Search Of Stoney Jackson"...
The combination of Lib's eccentric and spacey vibes with Phil Da Agony, Krondon and the most elusive member of SAS Mitchy Slick didn't exactly get people buzzing when word broke of the project months before it was released. Despite the crew's undeniable work ethic (they've dropped at least 14 mixtapes) and one pretty solid debut album in 2007's "Deep Hearted", folks seemed to be less than thrilled at the prospect of them getting up with Lib to do something and the album was virtually buzzless compared to other endeavors on Mr. Jackson's plate.
Now I'll be the first to admit these three aren't going to be winning many Hip-Hop quotable awards anytime soon (as if that's even a viable barometer of being dope anymore) but if you have any knowledge of L.A.'s underground scene circa the 1990's than you should pick up on why so many other people do check for their music so faithfully, or at least why I do.
