Dr. No's Oxperiment

After two solid solo albums, Madlib's younger brother hits paydirt with an unusual premise: An instrumental hip-hop record built entirely from samples of Mediterranean psychedelia.

With the Galt McDermott tribute project Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms and now the international instrumental album Dr. No's Oxperiment, cult rapper/beatsmith Oh No seems to be on a mission to out-weird his legendarily eccentric older brother Madlib. That'd be a perverse, doomed goal if the results weren't so damned…

Oh No, who is part of a lineage of successful musicians, may have genetically inherited his composition skills.
