Quasimoto, producer Madlib's alter ego emcee, hails from Oxnard, California. One day in the studio, Madlib decided to rap to his own beats. He didn't like the sound of his voice (his friends in Oxnard call him 'Barry White' in reference to his deep voice) so decided pitch the vocals up while recording to produce Quasimoto's distinctive high pitched voice. The debut album was conceived and recorded by Madlib during a week long psilocybin mushroom binge. 'Lord Quas' has released two LPs: "The Unseen", and "The Further Adventures of Lord Quas". And several EP's as Astronaut and Broad Factor.
