Before the Verdict

In 2010 Madlib launched the ‘Madlib Medicine Show Series’ - an ambitious undertaking that saw the prolific producer release a new title on a monthly basis - which kept him busy into 2011. The series debuted with ‘Before the Verdict’ with Guilty Simpson, a seventeen track rap outing with the Detroit MC. In addition to being the debut of Madlib’s Medicine Show Series the release also served as a prelude to Guilty Simpson’s OJ Simpson album, his collaboration with Madlib from later that year. ‘Before the Verdict’, an action-adventure psycho-thriller in the form of a full-length rap album, is back on print on vinyl for RSD Black Friday 2023.
