Review: Flying High is the debut album from LMD (aka California rap heavyweights LMNO, MED, Declaime). They all join forces for plenty of hard bars and spirited tales that showcase all their lyrical gifts. On top of their mic skills, they also manage to enlist none other than superstar hip-hop producer Madlib. His signature sounds are all over this with mind-bending instruments making for an album of organic and expertly crafted hip-hop tunes. The vibe is classic era boom bop with clouds of weed smoke and spiritual ambiance. It is a truly timeless work.

Review: Otis Jackson Jr. aka. Madlib is one of hip-hop's most inspirational producers. With self-produced classic releases under heteronyms like Quasimoto, Madvillain, Jaylib (with the great J Dilla), not to mention Bad Neighbor with Blu and MED, he proves he is in his own lane and is among the best at loop-digging. Madlib once more refuses to disappoint and now delivers a fresh set of heavy bangers on his new release Flying High Instrumentals. LMD (LMNO, MED, and Declaime) provided a solid performance on the vocal version of Flying High with stellar bars throughout; it's only right that BYH provides the beats to vibe to from the sensei himself, Madlib the Bad Kid.
