Quasimoto

Yessir Whatever

It holds together remarkably well, never once feeling disjointed.

The result is a shockingly cohesive and thoroughly complex record that more than compensates for its relatively brief runtime.

This isn't the new Quas album people might've hoped for, but as someone who values the obscure and underheard in other peoples' work, it's good to know Madlib has the same context, respect, and enthusiasm for his own vaults, too.

Don't start here, but material-starved fans who have devoured earlier efforts will welcome this like a bag of scraggly "get-by" weed found during a drought.

At its core, Yessir Whatever is an album of mellow, banging beats that follow a fairly simplistic Madlib pattern. At the same time, it’s incredibly unique if you can adjust to the quirkiness of Quasimoto’s high-pitched voice. Yessir Whatever captures a classic hip-hop sound, yet feels futuristic.
