Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on October 24, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Madlib! May your beats stay fresher than a crate-digging session at dawn and funkier than an alien invasion on vinyl. From crafting legendary collaborations like "Madvillainy" to blessing our ears with the soulful grooves of "Sound Ancestors," you've consistently proven that you're not just ahead of the curve—you're creating it.

Your Madlib Invazion imprint continues to invade playlists worldwide, reminding us all why you're hip-hop's favorite musical mad scientist. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your music has brought fans everywhere—and may your next year be filled with more samples cleared (or cleverly hidden) and fewer spilled coffees in the studio!
