Madlib began Yesterdays New Quintet in 2000, releasing the album Angles Without Edges in 2001. As the group progressed, a plan was developed for each of the band members to release “solo” records and to introduce new members and groups into what would be called “Yesterdays Universe”. Stones Throw Records recently uploaded some of the essential Yesterday’s New Quintet releases to their bandcamp. We thought our followers would enjoy discovering or revisiting these amazing pieces that are now available for streaming.

Yikes the Zero is a multi-talented MC/Producer/Artist/Writer based out of Philadelphia, PA. He returns with his latest album, “The Animal Box” on Extra Lovely Records. Yikes not only wrote and produced the entire album, he also created the incredible artwork for the project. The “Animal Box” is an adventurous and unique experimental hip-hop album that pulls in sounds from a range of worldly genres. The album is textured with soundbites from old cartoons, comic book references and layers of ghostly samples. The only features on the album are from the track, “Gauntlet” and includes additional vocals from O-Severe, Lushlife, Stainless Steele, Distant Starr, Tajai (Souls of Mischief) & Pep Love (Hieroglyphics Crew). “The Animal Box” is out now and available digitally and on limited-edition cassette.
