Earlier this month, Talib Kweli and Madlib released Liberation 2. Available exclusively on the Luminary podcast app (where Black Star released 2022’s Madlib-produced No Fear Of Time), the new LP features Westside Gunn, Roc Marciano, Q-Tip, Roy Ayers, and the late Mac Miller. The project is a sequel to the mid-2000s collaboration LP. However, while appearing on Ebro In The Morning, Madlib revealed that he has another anticipated sequel album in the works.
Speaking about a sequel to 2004’s Madvillainy, the lone studio album from MF DOOM & Madlib’s Madvillain duo, the revered producer/DJ/MC confirmed plans. “We have like 10 joints,” Madlib confirmed to the show’s co-host Peter Rosenberg at the 13:00 mark. “I’m gonna finish it. I got to change a lot of the beats, ’cause of some of the beats were used [since the songs were recorded],” he added. Recording reportedly began in the mid-2000s after Madvillainy, but had sporadic updates since. “[It is] just not complete. It’s more like a demo to me because we didn’t piece it together or anything and some of them it sounds like he just did one take and that’s it. [But] I’m gonna finish it. I gotta change a lot of the beats because some of the beats were used also.”
