Hip Hop and Breakz

The veteran and the rookie could easily be the subtitle for the album that brings together the legendary MF Doom and young MC Bishop Nehru.  Bishop Nehru first made contact with MF Doom when he opened for Doom and Ghostface at London's 100 club back in 2013.  They got on well and decided top work on an album together  "Well it's titled  NehruvianDOOM . It's DOOM producing the beats and I'm rapping over them, though he's going to be on some of the songs too. We don't have any outside features, it's just me and him."   For those that  don't  know Bishop Nehru is a young rapper, born in 1996 who dropped a mixtape presented by Peter Rosenberg and DJ Semtex a couple of years ago before meeting Doom and working on this album.   The album is nine tracks long (ten if you get the iTunes Special edition) and is released on Lex records.  Eight of the ten tracks are produced by MF Doom with one more being produced by Madvillian (Doom and Madlib)...

Two of my favorite Hip-Hop artists are back together again, MF Doom and Ghostface Killah with the first track from the DoomStarks LP due later this year on Nature Sounds. The first official release from DOOMSTARKS is the limited edition picture disc 12" with "Victory Laps" on one side (Vocal, Remix, Instrumentals) backed with Serato Control Tones used to DJ with Serato Scratch Live software. Expected ship date is September 13th. Available for pre order from Stonesthrow.com DoomStarks

MF Doom recently paid a rare visit to these shores where he rocked up to the Brixton Academy (I refuse to call it the O2 Academy) and with Help from the fantastic Herbaliser put on a fine evenings entertainment. The man in the Mask dropped favorites from his Doom, King Geedorah, Madvillain and even KMD albums. Check the Video below for a sample. Major props to my trusty cameraman, Mr Anderson for this fine HD footage.
