Madlib is a straight up beat junkie that comes from Oxnard, CA, a small town outside LA. Few producers have the body of work that Madlib's impressive career displays. He debuted as 'Lootpack,' a collaboration with hyper lyricist Wildchild, and dropped 'Soundpieces: Da Antidote.' The album proves that Madlib brought exciting beats from the beginning by thinking way outside the box. He has not looked back since, while he has full album collaborations...

Over this past summer, The Alchemist dropped some serious heat. 'Chemical Warfare' features 14 of his crazy tracks.

For example, his latest album, 2008's 'NY's Finest', managed to move just 3,900 copies in first week sales. The Soul Brother brings just that to the table, soul, as he keeps hip hop's heart beating day in and day out with his new and innovative sample construction or the feel good classics of the 90's...

So XXL does this thing every year, where they go and pick out ten rookie artists and call them the front runners for the new comers in hip hop. Neither year so far have they disappointed me, at all, well probably Lil Boosie, Plies and Ace Hood, but other than those few exceptions they're predictions have been pretty solid. Oh yeah Charles Hamilton too, but thats a story that requires some investigation.But XXL does this issue every year...
