To get this issue started off on the right foot, we wanted to get some giveaways for our readers. Who better to partner with than the one and only Stones Throw Records, home of Madlib, Madvillain, Yesterday’s New Quintet, J Dilla, Dam-Funk, Mayer Hawthorne, and more! For this package, we are featuring an artist who embodies what we are discussing here at the Revivalist. Madlib is a “DJ first, producer second, and MC last,” according to his own words, but he is much more than that. His production is featured on projects with MF DOOM (Madvillain), Mos Def, Talib, De La Soul, and J Dilla (Jaylib) to name a few. His work encompasses hip-hop and jazz alike. Included in the package are a Madlib Smoked Out Tee, 3 different Yesterday’s new Quintet albums and 3 different episodes of the Madlib Medicine Show. This package is amazing whether you are a seasoned Madlib fan or just looking to get familiar with him. Check below for the full package details. Today’s Stones Throw Care Package will go out to the first and fifth readers who respond with the correct answer to both questions:
