Along with DJ Romes, and fellow rhymer Wildchild, they released the dusty full-length, \u003cem\u003eSoundpieces: Da Antidote\u003c\/em\u003e back in 1999, that laid down the foundation for the unique and dusty sound now associated with Madlib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe loose, freeform recordings on this collection are circa 1996 when the group was managed by Madlib’s father, and they show the now-renowned maverick producer in comparatively restrained form. Madlib’s scope and imagination was clearly fixated on East coast jazzy hip-hop production from the early ’90s, laying down soundscapes for his hungry crew including the likes of Kazi, Declaime and Medaphoar, who have all become well known underground rap vets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMadlib’s own strong mic presence is noticeable given his now only-on-rare-occasion rhyming, but it’s his production that is the most fascinating element here. While a resolutely hip-hop project, theburgeoning jazzy flourishes and Madlib’s heavily accomplished ear for sound makes the record an important starting point for adherents of his more recent exploratory work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnersoul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsyche Move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Come Real with This (feat.
