Operation : Doomsday

Underneath his mysterious metal mask, MF Doom hides the cachet underground legends are made of. After KMD’s 1994 album ‘Bl_ck B_st_rds’ was turfed by Elektra and Subroc (one half of the sibling rhyme duo) passed away, surviving KMD member Zev Love X mutated into the MC Avenger known as MF Doom.

The Rap world is better for it. This 19-cut album is ridiculously dope. Doom sounds either high or drunk on most of the tracks, his self-produced beats are gritty, and his rhyme styles are almost indecipherable, with avant-garde ghetto philosophies taking ever more intentionally weird twists. The comic-book themed skits, many of which include snippets of dialogue from Marvel’s Dr. Doom series, will help take you deep into the mind of an MC who is as otherworldly as they come. A truly groundbreaking record finally back in print, officially, and – we hope – for keeps.
