Lord Quas is baaaack. “The poor-man’s Gorillaz” as Stones Throw sometimes bills him. Sadly though, not a new new album but Yessir Whatever is a 12-track compilation of rare material recorded by Madlib in his alterego form over the last 12 years. ‘Planned Attack’ is one of those 12 tracks. The LP comes out on June 18, 2013 with a peel off sticker cover. More info.
