Doom Is Back

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.

Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix

THE WAIT IS OVER! sort of…

According to Stones Throw, the underground hip-hop label known for being the home of J. Dilla (RIP) and other brilliant producers and emcees, the artist known as Madlib got tired of waiting to team up with the mysterious MF DOOM and decided to remix the original Madvillain debut album, Madvillainy. The new album, Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix is the fresh result, and if you have ever heard of Madlib or DOOM, like hip-hop, or enjoy good music, please, throw down ten bucks Here.  It’s an investment you’ll not soon regret.  I’ve been rockin this all day and the album is hot.
