MF Doom’s tour details are confirmed with the masked legend making his way to our shores next March.
This is seriously one of the most exciting hip hop tours to ever reach our shores. Having originally come up as part of hip hop crew KMD under the name Zev Love X with his brother DJ Subroc in the late 80s, when Subroc was hit by a car and killed, KMD subsequently dropped from their label Elektra, Doom retreated from the hip hop industry to heal his wounds and gain strength to wreak vengeance on the industry that so disfigured him.
Returning stronger than ever, donning the metal mask of his Fantastic Four villain namesake, Doom, has been know to go under various names including King Geedorah, Viktor Vaugh, Metal Face and Metal Fingers.
Having also teamed up to form some of hip hop’s most notable collaborative projects such as Madvillain (with Madlib), Danger Doom (with Danger Mouse) and Sniperlite (aka Dilla Ghost Doom, with J Dilla and Ghostface Killah) MF Doom is without doubt one of the most accomplished hip hop artists of all time, and I can’t fucking believe he’s coming out. Seriously feel these nipples.
Anyway that’s enough of me ranting on like a fanboy, here are the tour dates, and a little sample of what we’ve got to look forward to.
