In 2001 Madlib went on KCRW’s Chocolate City and did a live mix. KCRW archived that mix and have offered it as a free download on their website since 2001. A bootleg CD was made from the streamed audio at KCRW. Madlib does not profit from this bootleg CD, did not authorize it so you can download it here.  Seen!
