Madlib Talks Dilla, New Projects On BBC1 + Exclusive Hour-Long Mix

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

The one and only Beat Konducta Madlib took a trip across the pond to drop knowledge and love on Benji B's BBC 1 program last night. The loop digga sat down with Benji to discuss new material for both his next Quasimoto and Madvillain projects, not to mention tell a story or two about the late GOAT and his personal friend and production partner Jay Dee, one of which involves Dilla digging through crates just a few days before his passing. Its a real treat for the donut lover in us all and shows a side of Madlib we rarely get to see (the one where he actually goes by Madlib, after all the man's got aliases for days) Coupled with an exclusive hour-long mix chock-full-o-choice-cuts, the 2-hour show is simply not to be missed. You can hear the interview and mix in their entirety over at BBC 1 or listen to the funk itself below, but don't sleep on it because it's only available for 6 more days. Beat the clock and grab a glass milk, it's only right.
