Got some audio of JRocc playing some exclusive Madvillain (DOOM & Madlib) on Fat Beats Radio. If you haven’t heard, Stones Throw recently announced a follow up to Madvillainy in 2010! . Which has caused me and all the other Madvillain fans something to be hyped for next year, also word is there will be some new tracks coming real soon by the villain.
So its been announced that DOOM and Madlib will be coming back together, not only for the concert in November, but also to release a new album. We posted about that a few weeks ago. There are plenty of fans of DOOM, including myself, and the list is always growing. But there is one person who is a major fan of DOOM’s that you might not have predicted. And that’s Mos Def. Mos Def had a video a few months back of him in the studio going over his favorite DOOM rhymes off the top of his head. Now there is a NEW video that just dropped of Mos Def once again spitting some dope DOOM rhymes but this time DOOM makes a cameo himself in the video. Gotta hope that these two dudes come together and finally put out a sick album together. You know its gotta be coming. Mos Def is rapping lyrics from DOOM’s Madvillian song called “Meat Grinder”. Check out the song and the videos below:

A lot of people only know him because of the mask and may not be too familiar with his work and his life. This article does a good job of covering his past and present and he talks about why he put on the mask in the first place. I’m a huge fan of DOOM and its good to get more insight on his life because, for the most part, he is very mysterious.
…DOOM persona felt as though it had emerged from the graveyard of rappers murdered by glam-hop. Onstage, DOOM looked the part. He cultivated a dishevelled aspect – ill-fitting white tees or throwback Patrick Ewing jerseys. His paunch gently rebelled against the borders of his shirt. He was visibly balding. His manner suggested a retired B-boy tossing off…..
You can read the entire article over at Stones Throw and also i’ve included a song here from the last album he dropped a while back. Enjoy.
