Ever tried contemplating a week long magic mushroom binge and see if you don't turn into a veg? Madlib has, and far from turning into a raving loony, he created one of independent hip-hop's flagship albums, Quasimoto's The Unseen as a result.
Legend has it that the West-Coast left field hip-hop producer created this album after the psychedelic tour de force for his own listening pleasure before Stones Throw owner Peanut Butter Wolf convinced Madlib to release his psychotropic fuelled album for the public. For you unfortunate enough to not know Quas, he's the helium voiced weed smoking alien who goes around committing grotesque yet quite hilarious murders (cracking skulls with a brick, stabbing someone from behind with a pitchfork, handing out poisoned apples, etc.) accompanied with absurd, obscure and sometimes very catchy samples with a clear tongue in cheek attitude towards the absurdities of mainstream rap.

*Official video, damn strange one at that.
*Not even a video but features one of the best tracks on The Unseen.
Now Kid Robot & Stones Throw can bring the yellow (or blue) alien right into your living room with this action figure.
Even if you don't know who the hell Lord Quas is, having an action figure of a sh*t talking, pot smoking, brick carrying alien can't do you any harm. Read more HERE!
