Ethiopia: Madlib Meets Ethiopian Legend Ayaléw Mesfin

Damn. I need this beat at the beginning of the vid

Damn commies banning his music

Two GOATs

Thank you for this. Incredible.

Madlib is one of my biggest inspirations. He should have his own series on here.

I exactly know what he means at the beginning of the video.

This is some fukin C O N T E N T right here

Noisey. Keep this going.

yooo, Ayalew Mesfin is a real one for dealing with that kind of condemning just because his music was uplifting to the people of Ethiopia. the fact that he still to this day stands for what he believes, it fucking inspires me.

Also, its really dope to see Madlib geeked over this legend. im geeked over Madlib myself. Him and Kankick are like my number one inspirations when i started doing music 10 years ago. I hope to one day meet them. hopefully this music I do takes me there someday.

Jah bless to you & yours Ayalew! also Jah bless to Madlib, Egon & Noisey!

More madlib meets

Incredible video. Learnt a lot from my favorite dudes. This is why music is important! 10/10

egon's make up is amazing. the light eye liner, the nude lip and eyeshadow. decidedly erotic.

thank you everyone involved in this. very necessary.

Watching Ayaléw tear up in front of the crowd was really powerful shit. Glad something as unexpected as this could come about.-

This made my day bless all

I really hope this becomes a regular series. This was brilliant, emotional and inspiring

Being Ethiopian this video made me so happy. If you’re a producer, Ethiopian jazz has all the samples you need. Shoutout to Madlib.

So glad Vice didn't ruin another thing i love so much

Opening tune , anyone ?

NAH MEAN!?!
