Re-issue! MF DOOM unravels Unexpected Guests on limited edition vinyl In the beginning, there was Zev Love X—a prolific artist venturing through indie Hip-hop. And then there was MF DOOM, the infamous, supervillain leading a jazz-hop revolution through the underground scene. If you thought we were kidding about the villain part, we’re not—the dude dons a creepy mask fashioned somewhere in between Russel Crowe in the Gladiator flick and Magneto. His music, on the other hand, takes you into another dimension, wherein the lines between rap-music, jazz, alternative, and poetry collapse into one enigmatic nether-world of modern magnum opus. We’re probably sounding a little cryptic wouldn’t you say? Well that’s the vibe that we get from this music—and I simply can’t shake it off my playlists ever since. Don’t believe us? Check it out for yourself—the revolution’s already big with classics like Operation Doomsday, MM…FOOD, Madvillainy, not to mention his Special Herbs series. But creeping in the shadows is a collection of collaborative work, non-album singles, promo singles, and miscellaneous projects the average Joe only sees as a musical oddity. Those tracks finally reach the light of day on an Unexpected Guests limited-edition vinyl installment featuring Talib Kweli, J Dilla, Ghostface Killah, Sean Price, Count Bass D, Vast Aire, Masta Killa, and several others joining in with DOOM’s revolution. The collective claims to unveil several tracks that have never reached an official debut. This means we finally snatch a peak at the goodies stashed in DOOM’s creative closet—if that doesn’t sound tempting to you, we don’t know what else would. Unexpected Guests deluxe vinyl is now up for grabs via pre-order, and the DOOM Revolution can only expand from here. Enlisting is your choice, we mean… the revolution will imminently come to YOU if otherwise…
