"Madlib is a highly regarded and influential hip-hop producer and occasional rapper, who has left his distinct and stylized sound on classic tracks and critically beloved albums by the likes of MF Doom (Madvillain), J Dilla (JayLib), Talib Kweli (Liberation), Georgia Anne Muldrow (Seeds), and more. Madlib's collaborations with rapper Freddie Gibbs (Piñata & 2019's Bandana) are some of the most acclaimed hip-hop records of the past decade, and his various DJ mix compilations (Madlib Medicine Show, Beat Konducta) have earned high praise from a variety of journalistic sources. On The Professionals, Madlib joined forces with fellow rapper/producer and biological brother Oh No, unleashing thirteen tracks of trippy, frequently psychedelic underground hip-hop, upon an unsuspecting public to great acclaim from fans and critics. Now, Madlib's own imprint Madlib Invazion proudly presents the instrumental tracks for this anomalous record, which puts every twitchy, paranoid, and anomalous beat from the legendary beatsmith on full display."

2015 repress; originally released in 2007. The unsung heroes in the history of Jamaican music can be traced back to the musicians who cut the thousands upon thousands of tracks that we know and love today. In some cases the musicians would overlap and be involved in more than one project at the same time. A prime example would be the band that was called The Professionals when Joe Gibbs recorded them and The Aggrovators when Bunny Lee did. So two band names, two producers, one engineer (Errol "E.T." Thompson) and one agenda. Some of the finest dubs around, The Professionals Meet The Aggrovators at Joe Gibbs in fine form. Includes two tracks not included on the LP version (JRLP 026LP).
