“hip-hop visionary tells wondrous stories in sound”
“Sound Ancestors is Madlib revelling in his love of music”
“The wildly inventive rapper-producer teams up with electronic musician Four Tet to create an album that lives in the space between the past and the future.”
“On his collaborative album with Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden, the producer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and archivist remains masterful by simply turning what he hears into something new and revelatory.”
“Sound Ancestors trails off into averageness by Madlib standards, which is to say it never stops being above average in general.”
