Lootpack is a hip hop group signed to Stones Throw Records. Though they were together since high school, Lootpack - Madlib, Wildchild, and DJ Romes - made their first appearance on the 1993 debut album by Tha Alkaholiks, 21 & Over.
The first vinyl by Lootpack, Ill Psych Move EP, was released in 1996 on a label named Crate Digga's Palace founded by Madlib's father, Otis Jackson Sr. After this 12" they caught the attention of Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf, producer and DJ.
Eventually the three of them signed for Stones Throw leading to their 1999 release of Soundpieces: Da Antidote. A follow-up has not been released, but all three of them have collaborated on other projects and recorded solo records.
