Madlib Makes A Beat From Scratch Live

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Madlib shows us exactly how he championed his title as The Beat Konducta as he builds a beat from scratch live. The man whose prolific output has  dawned classic collaborations with J Dilla (Jaylib,) MF DOOM (Madvillainy) and more recently Freddie Gibbs gives us a keen window into the breadth of his musicianship and chop styles as he quickly organizes a live drum take, a programmed drum track and an old-soul cut into one gleaming specimen of a production. Get wise and maybe pick up a pointer or two from the Beat Konducta as he chops live below and be sure to cop his gangstariffic collab with Freddie Gibbs Piñata via iTunes today.
