Madlib has a younger brother? Apparently so, and the mad talent runs in the family (the boys’ father is none other that Otis Jackson). He goes by the name Oh No and his latest album, Dr. No’s Oxperiment will be released on Stones Throw August 14th. Stones Throw describes the album as “an audio tour of Turkish, Lebanese, Greek & Italian psyche funk: chopped, flipped & ripped.” It’s an album of instrumentals all produced by Oh No. ([More →])
