Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix was originally released in CD form in Madvillainy 2: The Box (2008) and released only with the box set.  White labels of the vinyl have been kicking around for a while, but we finally decided to get it done right.

Some might say its sacrilege to revisit an album like Madvillainy, but Madlib’s never been one to respect convention. Like many of his best works, he made this one for himself - headphone listening pleasure before a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo. But this reworking (we hate to say remix) was so good that after we sat with it for a while, we decided that we had to make it available.
