We’re now announcing the release of Madlib Medicine Show #9: Channel 85 presents Nittyville, a full-length hip-hop album featuring Detroit’s Frank Nitt. Originally launched as a one-a-month, 12-part series, Medicine Show #9 is the first to break the chronology.
Nittyville is also perhaps the most traditional of the series, and we make no bones about it: one MC, one producer, and a rap record all about stunts, blunts and hip-hop.
As for “Channel 85,” it is far off most dials. This album’s concept TV station runs one show only: the comic-drama, reality-musical called Nittyville, featuring Frank, MED, Oh No, Madlib, and a supporting cast of extras.

On J Dilla’s birthday…
This is the piece of raw footage from MED’s ‘Push’ music video that the cover for the Stones Throw album Donuts was extracted from. First time posted in its entirety anywhere.

Store: J DILLA: BEHIND THE BEAT (POSTER)
Back in 2005, photographer Raph Rashid was hoping to complete a book of hip-hop home studios by getting pics of J Dilla at work in Los Angeles. Unknown to all but a small circle of people at the time, J Dilla had been in and out of the hospital all year dealing with increasingly serious health problems. It was summer, during a brief period when Dilla was home, working on The Shining, looking and feeling good, when Raph came to take this picture. It was published with others later that year in his book Behind the Beat: Hip-Hop Home Studios.
You may have seen some of the other photos on the web. We arranged with Raph to use one on our Ruff Draft poster and last year’s Stussy shirt. Another photo from this session which also appears in the book, is one of Dilla and his young daughter Ja’Mya Yancey.
This poster is a work of the J Dilla Estate (Pay Jay Productions, Inc.), available exclusively here in Stones Throw’s online shop. The poster will begin shipping Valentine’s Day February 14.
