Declaime x Madlib - In the Beginning Vol. 1 LP - 2021

 

LP - 2021 - Fat Beats Records / SomeOthaShip Connect

" ‘In the Beginning (Vol. 1)’ is a treasure trove of the early works of Declaime & Madlib, the longtime collaborators who helped usher in a new sound and style from the city of Oxnard, Calif. This collection is brimming with previously unheard tracks from this beyond-creative duo that blends hip-hop with funk, jazz, soul, and psychedelia to lay the groundwork for so many other emcees and producers. 

For Declaime (a/k/a Dudley Perkins), this project serves as a way to honor his friends and the city that raised them. He shouts out names like The Almighty Metaphor (aka MED), Oh No the Disrupt, DJ Romes, Kazi, and more, who he says “created a lane for the city of Oxnard to get the recognition it deserves.” Some of them make an appearance in one form or another on this collection, too—Romes, for example, mastered the project—that compiles 13 previously lost tracks that were recorded from 1993 to ‘96. 

  

‘In The Beginning’ is entirely produced by Madlib, who provided all the cuts as well. His instrumentals are on that raw and dusty vibe as they move freely through genres and sounds, like on standout cuts “Madman,” “Black,” and “All Over the World (feat MED).” Those are all highlights for Declaime, too, and they demonstrate his ability to blend his observations of the world with bravado and third-eye insights. Even as young kids just getting their feet wet in the studio, these two were firmly on their path. 

  

That path started, in a way, when the two became friends as young kids. “I first met Madlib when he moved across the street from me; I was around nine years old at the time,” Declaime says, adding that their fathers were friendly with one another. Despite the two losing touch after Madlib’s family moved, they reconnected just a few years later and the rest is musical history. 

‘In The Beginning (Vol. 1)’ is available now for pre-order and officially drops on Friday, July 02 on vinyl, CD and through all major DSPs via SomeOthaShip Connect in partnership with Fat Beats Records! " - courtesy of SomeOthaShip Connect

Declaime - illminded - 1993/1994

 

Here are some old unreleased demos recorded by Declaime circa 1993/1994. All the tracks were recorded at the crate diggas palace 93-94 in Oxnard Ca, produced by Madlib and recently restored by Trade Voorhees.

"These are some serious underground recordings, unearthed from 1993-1994. Recorded on a 4 track, lost since 95 and recently unearthed by a friend who has held them on an old super dusty rusty cassette deep down in his dungeon, this is a super low-fi treat for all you hardcore Declaime and Madlib fans!" - courtesy of SomeOthaShip Connect

Madvillain Figure with Madlib & Doom “Avalanche” 45

Perfect gift for Christmas if you are a collector or if you've got a MF Doom's fan among your friends and family.
An 8-Inch action figure and a 7" vinyl of Madlid & MF Doom's collaborative song "Avalanche", both in a nice illustrated box : 

"The Figure was conceived and created by the same team behind the Madvillain figure by Kid Robot, including James Reitano, illustrator/animator/director of “All Caps.” Reitano also illustrated the Figure’s box and the 7” jacket and labels. The Figure was designed and sculpted by Charlie Becker. It was manufactured by Blitzway, the South Korean toy manufacturer who manufactured the J Dilla Figures, on behalf of Madlib Invazion.

The Figure is 8-inches tall and stands freely at 8-inches deep. The Figure’s gold case is removable, and the case itself opens for storage of, well, whatever you can fit in there. One of Figure’s arms articulates. It comes in a custom designed box by James Reitano that can be disassembled as a diorama for the figure (instructions included on the box). The Figure comes in a clamshell case inside the box. The 7” record is inserted into a custom space in the clamshell." Rappcats
