Madlib Makes a Triumphant Return with “REEKYOD,” a Hip-Hop Masterpiece
Legendary producer Madlib is finally back! After a three-year hiatus, he’s blessing the world with a brand new single,”REEKYOD,” and it’s everything fans have been waiting for. “REEKYOD” marks the launch of Madlib Invazion, Madlib’s own record label, a testament to his independence and creative fire.
The track itself is a lyrical goldmine. Mic masters Black Thought and Your Old Droog absolutely demolish the beat,showcasing their impressive skills over his signature production. Speaking of the beat, prepare to have your mind blown. Described as a “crackling, D.O.C.-sampled masterpiece,” it’s a playground for these lyrical titans. Black Thought himself hails it as “high art” and shouts out Madlib for being “in his bag per usual.”
Your Old Droog calls working with Madlib and Black Thought “a dream come true,” and even hints at a potential full-length Madlib x YOD album on the horizon. Now that’s something to get hyped about!
The release of “REEKYOD” feels even more momentous when you consider Madlib’s recent achievements. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his classic collaboration with MF DOOM, Madvillainy, and the 10th anniversary of his critically acclaimed Piñata album with Freddie Gibbs. “REEKYOD” feels like a victory lap, a celebration of Madlib’s legacy while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of hip-hop.
Quotable Lyrics:
I’m the night breed that know at any moment I might need
The light speed that make a hoe in a fight bleed
They say the root of all evil is light green
Make many a wife leave pursuing the right dream
Uh, I met a few on the last train from nowhere
The reason I reside in the fast lane is to go there
The roots crew flew to the moon and did a show there
