New music Tuesday used to mean riding our bikes to the record store and weighing the value of an unheard, sealed album against that of a sandwich. Now, it means new music from Madlib and Erykah Badu.

1. Madlib the Beat Konducta – Chrome Dreams
2. MED & Dabrye – Rhymes With An L
3. Roc C – Living For The City

6. Oh No – Gitback
7. Guilty Simpson & Four Tet – Money Motivated Movements
8. Madlib the Beat Konducta – Selah’s Children
9. Baron Zen – Theme (Danny Breaks Remix)…

From the dirty dungeons of Stones Throw Records comes the blunted alter-ego of lyricist MF Doom and producer Madlib. The Madvillain character, an embodiment of Doom’s obvious comic obsession, is the kind of superhero you’ve always wanted to find …
