Madlib is one of the most prolific and acclaimed producers to ever work in music. Through his various projects over the years-from Madvillain to Quasimoto-the musician pretty much changed the way sampling works in hip-hop.
Now, in a special called Madlib’s Medicine Show, Noisey follows Madlib-with the help of Egon at Now-Again Records-as he meets one of his favorite and often sampled Ethiopian musicians, the legendary Ayaléw Mesfin. Trust us. This is something you don’t want to miss.

True story: Madlib and OhNo used to be my next door neighbor in Oxnard when I was young. I used to go to their house and play video games with OhNo. I had no idea that they made music until I was in high school when Lootpack came out with an album. Crazy because Madlib is my favorite producer ever!! And his rapping ain’t too bad too.

yooo, Ayalew Mesfin is a real one for dealing with that kind of condemning just because his music was uplifting to the people of Ethiopia. the fact that he still to this day stands for what he believes, it fucking inspires me. Also, its really dope to see Madlib geeked over this legend. im geeked over Madlib myself. Him and Kankick are like my number one inspirations when i started doing music 10 years ago. I hope to one day meet them. hopefully this music I do takes me there someday. Jah bless to you & yours Ayalew! also Jah bless to Madlib, Egon & Noisey!

Madlib opened so much for me musically and emotionally with his breadth of samples from different eras. He really goes deep and brings them back to life again in his own way. It's so sad what ayalew went through as an artist and human being and the corruption ethiopians go through still today. Ethiopian creativity comes so much from their struggles, they are such colorful people love them
