Madlib Seeks Help After Losing Family Home & ‘Decades Of Music’ In L.A. Wildfires

Madlib has lost his and his family’s home as a result of the fires currently burning through Los Angeles, and he is asking for assistance.

On Monday (January 13), the producer and his manager Stacy Epps shared the sad news via social media.

“We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support in helping legendary producer Madlib and his family rebuild after losing their home, decades of music, and equipment in the devastating LA fires,” they both posted on Instagram.

They shared a link to an online fundraiser to “Help Madlib and His Family Rebuild After Tragic Loss.”

“Your donation, no matter the amount, will provide assistance to help Madlib with immediate personal needs, essentials like clothing, temporary housing, transportation costs and the tools Madlib needs to continue creating the music that has touched so many lives,” the post continued.

“100% of your donations are tax deductible and will go directly to Madlib and his family.”

The fundraiser, via the online fundraising system Donorbox, can be found at donorbox.com/madlibrebuild.

Madlib is far from the only musical figure of note to have lost their home due to the fires.
