"Luckily, once-elusive producer/DJ Madlib returned to Blue Note Napa for his second straight year, this time delivering no less than three performances, one each afternoon. Friday, he invited drummer Daru Jones to join him on the Footprints Stage for minimalist, sampledelic hip-hop funk mined from dusty jazz excursions. This first set was further elevated by stream-of-consciousness freestyles by Niko Is, plus the vocal stylings of Stacy Epps, a former Madvillainy collaborator who’s begun managing Madlib in recent months."
