Madvillain is the moniker and stage name for the underground collaboration between MF DOOM (MC) and Madlib (producer).

Their album Madvillainy was met with critical acclaim for its unique approach - short songs, obscure lyrics, few choruses and a sound which was generally unfriendly to commercial radio. This was directly opposite to the formulas of popular hip hop of the time. The album features a host of guests from including MED, Wildchild and DOOM/Madlib aliases Viktor Vaughn and Quasimoto respectively.

An instrumental version of the album and two remix EPs from Madvillainy were released on Stones Throw. Remixes were by Four Tet and Koushik. Four years later, in 2008, Madlib released Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix. The remix has been described as more psychedelic but with similar un-radio friendly producing styles.

As of now DOOM and Madlib are working on the official sequel. J.ROCC leaks of the new Madvillainy can be found on Youtube. On top of the leaked portions of a mixture of upcoming tracks the whole track “Savior Beans” can be heard with some radio mixing over it as well. There is no official release date yet.

    It's definitely more of a rarity, so I figured I would post this for all those who haven't heard B over a madlib beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WC8UmCRqUE He kills it.
