As a vocal muse for Madlib’s creations, Dudley
is unmatched; he’s earned first pick at Madlib’s prized
beat collections. Just like Madvillain or Quasimoto, the Dudley/Madlib
combination is a facet unto its own – on par with the most
illustrious collaboration projects in Madlib’s catalog.
His dynamic sophomore effort, entitled Expressions (2012 A.U.),
takes an extended detour in the direction of Parliament’s
Mothership Connection. The funk is strong this time around –
as is the soul music that brought tears to the eyes of Dudley’s
and Madlib’s aunts and uncles back in the golden days. Dudley
continues his plaintive, introspective soul-searching – as
well as his trademark questions of the future for mankind.
As always, his search for goodness and truth is balanced by a robust
and hilarious celebration of the good life – the booty life
and the weed life. But expect even funkier dance-floor singles this
time – and even more melodious arrangements from Madlib, who
again handles all production duties.
