The new MF Doom album will drop this year. It’s entitled Born Like This (eta 2009) and it’s being released under the name Doom. Not King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn, Zen Love X, Metal Fingers, or MF Doom - just Doom.

Isn’t it amazing that one artist can take on so many different names and personas? He’s not Prince or Puff Daddy who just change their name to keep it fresh. He does it because he actually changes characters. 

The track above has Doom spitting on top of a violin. Almost sounds like a jazz track with conscious lyrics spit over it. Ahh the merger of Jazz and Hip Hop. I love it!! Thx Analog Giant for the clip.
