Ka$h AKA Kash Don’t Make Beats of JAMLA’s Soul Council just released a brand new collection of 10 slaps as a sequel to last year’s eyebrow raising instrumental release The JAMLA Files .

Quasimoto (Madlib) – Yessir Whatever (Stones Throw) 6.18.2013
Quasimoto AKA The Bad Character is back. Madlib dropped quite a few loose tracks, B sides and alternate versions spread out over the past decade and they’ve been collected in this new Stones Throw release titled Yessir Whatever. If you aren’t a Quasimoto fanatic that already has all of these then you should pick this up. If you’re a Stones Throw head or a completist then there’s no question you’re copping this. I’d also like to add that if you’ve been looking your a way to get started with Madlib’s favorite alter ego’s catalog this makes an excellent introduction as well. You can enrich your life with Yessir Whatever buy purchasing it from iTunes, Amazon, Fat Beats, UGHH, Sandbox Automatic or directly from Stones Throw.
