That’s right yall, the man, the myth, the legendary MF Doom is back and has a new album in the works. “Born Like This” is slated for a March 24th release date, but Doom has already released two of the tracks to his myspace. While Doom is self-producing most of the album, he’ll be rapping over a few foreign beats, courtesy of J Dilla (RIP), Dangermouse, and Jake One and featuring Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. This album would mark the return of Doom after a two-year hiatus, during which previous collaborator Madlib (of Madvillain) released Madvillainy 2 without any further collaboration with the man behind the mask. Doom has long since been one of my favorite emcees for his versatility and lyricism. Needless to say, I’m expecting a lot from this album, and judging by the two tracks on Doom’s MySpace, “Ballskin” and “That’s That,” Doom will deliver, like he always has.
