Madlib Lost His Home and “Decades of Music” in L.A. Wildfires

Here’s where you can donate to the legendary producer.

Days after they began, the Los Angeles wildfires continue altering the lives of thousands. One of those people is Madlib, whose house was lost in the flames. On Monday, the Bandana producer’s official Instagram posted a call for help following the disaster.

“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,” reads the caption. “Your donation, no matter the amount, will help Madlib and his family rebuild and continue creating the music that has touched so many lives. 100% of your donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to Madlib and his family. Thank you in advance for your love, prayers and support. #linkinbio.”

Madlib is one of many displaced due to the fires. While he and his family are presumably safe, the caption for his post notes the “decades of music” that was lost. That speaks to the symbolic and literal losses people are facing as these fires rage throughout the area. You can donate to Madlib here.

Over the weekend, Jhené Aiko returned to the site of her home that was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire. “Me and my children's home is gone,” she wrote in an initial Instagram story announcing the news. “Burned to the ground with all our things inside. Lord have mercy. Thankful we still have each other starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy.”
