Quasimoto, or producer Madlib’s alter ego emcee, hails from Oxnard, California.
One day in the studio, Madlib decided to rap to his own beats. He didn’t like the sound of his voice (his friends in Oxnard call him ‘Barry White’ in reference to his deep voice) so decided to slow his recorder down, rap slow, then speed the recording back up to produce Quasimoto’s distinctive high pitched voice. The debut album was conceived and recorded by Madlib during a week long psilocybin mushroom binge. ‘Lord Quas’ has released two LPs: “The Unseen”, and “The Further Adventures of Lord Quas”. And several EP’s as Astronaut and Broad Factor.

My Rating: ★★★★★
Lord Quas really is an acquired taste.
In my opinion, however, this is one of the best hip-hop productions of all time.
The jazzy beats and quirky lyricism are awesome.
Definitely in my top 3 for when it comes to rap albums.
