Madlib
Album : Beat Konducta, Vol. 5-6
Release Date : February 10, 2009

review :
When Madlib followed J Dilla’s now-classic Donuts with an instrumental concept-album of his own, a series was born. Beat Konducta, the alias he often scribbled on the beat CDs he handed to friends and potential collaborators, left the realm of the unknown and entered the record-buying public’s conscious as Madlib’s latest nom de plume. Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6 : Dil Cosby & Dil Withers is a 42-track tribute to the late J Dilla. Madlib and J. Rocc lovingly remember their friend and reflect on his boundless influence.

As was the case with Donuts and in keeping with the Beat Konducta’s all-embracing musical bent, this album does not settle into one groove for too long. The result is a transfixing, sometimes jarring, and always soulful homage to the man Madlib crowned King Of The Beats.
