From the unlikely beach town of OXNARD , 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. With his childhood buddies in the LOOTPACK , Madlib quickly made a name for himself. In particular, his expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of hip-hop's most sought-after producers.

Along with DJ ROMES and WILDCHILD , Madlib formed the remarkable LOOTPACK in their hometown of Oxnard. The trio made their debut on tha ALKAHOLIKS' 21 and Over in 1993. They continued doing work for tha Alkaholiks and other artists before releasing their full-length Soundpieces: DA ANTIDOTE six years later. The album earned solid reviews but went largely unnoticed. After hooking up with Los Angeles DJ PEANUT BUTTER WOLF Madlib did a lot of production for Wolf's STONES THROW label. In 1999 the label released QUASIMOTO 's astonishing The UNSEEN Lp. Doubling as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals and production duties on the album, a huge critical success. Known under a plethora of pseudonyms, he is one of the most prolific and critically acclaimed hip hop producers of the 2000s and has collaborated with a myriad of hip hop artists including MF DOOM (as MADVILAIN) , and the late J DILLA (as JAYLIB ).
