Always on the up and up

Quasimoto - Closer (feat. Madvillain)
From: Further Adventures of Lord Quas (Stones Throw, 2005)

When Madlib and MF Doom joined forced for last year's Madvillainy, the resulting record got "more spins than the power plays" and "earned them a tower of praise," as Doom himself puts it. If there was ever any doubt about the duo's ability to follow up such a well-recieved album, this track (from the upcoming Quasimoto LP) puts it to rest, proving that the Loop Digga and the Supervillain could easily drop hot shit from 2003 'til infinity. Doom's odd quiet-voiced delivery, Madlib/Quasimoto's blunted bar-trading, and a stunning sampled hook come together to create a song every bit as dope and original as anything they've done. Here's to the future.
