Ayatollah dug in the crates for the title of his next digital-only album, pulling out an obscure gem in much the same way he\u2019s been unearthing soulful sounds for over a decade. \u201cQuixotic is the word that best descbribes me as an individual,\u201d says the veteran producer, whose \u201cnoble deeds\u201d include crafting hip-hop classics like Mos Def\u2019s \u201cMs. Fat Booty\u201d and Styles P and Pharoahe Monch\u2019s \u201cThe Life.\u201d Since these early successes, Ayatollah has gone on to work with some of the greatest MCs to ever touch a microphone, including Rakim, Ghostface, Talib Kweli, Masta Ace, and many more.
\nWith The Quixotic (Tollah Music), Ayatollah delivers another batch of head-nodding instrumentals, with a few choice MCs (including Sadat X) also making appearances. Five years in the making, The Quixotic reflects the free creative approach favored by its creator. \u201cWith these beats, there was no real formula. I just sat down and formatted the sequence according to my mood.\u201d While many producers have upgraded to the latest computer-based technologies, ‘Tollah has shunned such gadgets in favor of his reliable MPC 60 II (discontinued in 1994).
