A staple in the Los Angeles left-field scene as one of the founders of Poo-Bah Records and a member of the Brainfeeder Records clique, Ras G's innovative beatmaking falls into the same stony, psychedelic style of instrumental hip-hop as fellow L.A. DJ/producers Madlib and Flying Lotus. He released six EPs and four full albums in the latter half of the 2000s, and his creativity continued to shine for the next few years as well, with seven more EPs (including split 7" releases with Samiyam and Sun Ra) and four more albums, Down 2 Earth, Space Base Is the Place, and 2013's Raw Fruit and Back on the Planet. ~ Jason Lymangrover
