Madlib and his family have been severely affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires and are seeking support.
In a statement posted to the California rapper and producer's Instagram yesterday, Madlib shared he and his family have lost "their home, decades of music and equipment" as fires swept LA last week. The accompanying photo shows ash, debris and rubble with only two brickwork structures left standing. A Donorbox fundraising campaign has been set up for the family.
"Your donation, no matter the amount, will provide assistance to help Madlib with immediate personal needs, essentials like clothing, temporary housing, transportation costs and the tools Madlib needs to continue creating the music that has touched so many lives", the statement reads. "100% of your donations are tax deductible and will go directly to Madlib and his family...This is not to rebuild the physical home, this is to start rebuilding life for immediate needs."
