DOOM

DOOM
Born Like This
(Lex Records)

The name may have changed [drop the MF then hit the caps lock] but the metal faced villain’s output hasn’t with this new solo album, the follow up to 2004’s MM..FOOD.

This album showcases everything that is great about DOOM both as a rapper and a producer with his ridiculously multi-dimensional lyrics flowing around the usual superhero styled samples whilst guest spots from the likes of Ghostface, Raekwon and Atmosphere’s Slug only help to enhance the high standard DOOM sets.

Even when he’s not producing, DOOM is able to rope in the likes of Dilla [R.I.P as always], Jake One and Madlib, all of whom are able to lace tracks which compliment the rapping on show. DOOM even sings on That’s That and though he’s off-key and clearly not a singer, it fits, proving there isn’t much that he can’t turn his hand to and make it sound dope.

The track you can hear is Gazillion Ear, produced by Dilla. Peep it by clicking above and see just why this album is the best thing Metal Face has done since Operation Doomsday.

Abjekt.
