About Quasimoto

Quasimoto, the alter ego of renowned hip hop producer Madlib, hails from Oxnard, California, and offers a unique blend of experimental and underground hip hop. Born out of Madlib's desire to rap over his own beats, Quasimoto features the distinctive high-pitched voice of Lord Quas, a character created by slowing down and speeding up Madlib's vocals. This side project is known for its eclectic mix of funk, jazz, soul, and blaxploitation samples, all woven together with Madlib's signature scatter-brained production style. Quasimoto's lyrics often tackle themes of violence and drug use with a comedic and satirical twist, providing a fresh and engaging take on gangsta-rap. With a discography that includes standout albums like "The Unseen" and "Yessir Whatever," Quasimoto continues to captivate fans with its innovative sound and playful lyricism.
