It's a really nice article! But I'll just write some of the interesting stuff:

He is working on Yesterdays New Quintet Offshoots (Kamala Walker, the Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble, and the Jahari Massamba Unit)

Even though he is working on those offshoots, YNQ also got some stuff to release:
The first is the "Jewelz" 12"/EP, credited to the Otis Jackson Jr. Trio. Jackson "was" a "member" of Yesterdays New Quintet who shares Madlib's given name. Will be released in mid-June
The second YNQ-related release is titled Yesterdays Universe, which, according to a press release, "will feature the next phase in the YNQ universe: 10 new groups produced by Madlib, all of whom will have records released in the next 12 months." Will be released July 17.

There will be a Beat Konducta Vol. 3: Beat Konducta in India, in the first half of July!

Madlib has also been busy collaborating with the likes of Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and Percee P:
He contributed production to Kweli's forthcoming Ear Drum (July 24, Blacksmith/Warner Bros.), and he is producing the entirety of Percee's Perseverance (August 14, Stones Throw). His work with Badu has been a little more untethered. They have collaborated on seven songs together so far, and they could all potentially appear on Badu's new album, though there is no official word on what that record will look like.
