Queens producer Ayatollah has been one of the front-runners for the instrumental Hip Hop movement. Between producing songs for Ghostface Killah, Mos Def and R.A. The Rugged Man, the onetime Marley Marl protege has released a handful of albums of beats, loops and various instrumental compositions.
Ayatollah’s longtime label, Nature Sounds, announced today that they are packaging a 3CD set, Live From The MPC60. The release takes its name from the Akai sampler favored by Ayatollah. “I want to give more to the world,” he explained in a statement. “I’ve been sitting on a lot of material. I wanted to get it out at all costs.” At over 150 minutes of music, the discs are split into three volumes: Drum Machine, Quixotic and The Cocoon respectively.
