New music downloads from MF DOOM & Blu



Indie favorite MF DOOM is back, as it was recently announced that his highly anticipated third official solo album, Born Into This, is dropping next month.

Dropping the MF moniker this go around, DOOM hasn’t put out a solo set since 2004’s critically acclaimed MM Food. The self-proclaimed “masked super villain” will be releasing the disc on March 23rd via UK-based label LEX records.

Linking with a small group of past collaborators like Ghostface Killah, Raekwon the Chef, the late J DIlla and Kurious Jorge, Born Into This sonically picks up where DOOM left off.

While the underground rapper hasn’t dropped a solo CD in the last couple of years he has put out several collaboration projects with Grammy-award-winning producer Danger Mouse as DANGERDOOM, a remix project with Madlib (MADVILLAINY 2), as well as singles with producer Jake One, Dilla and Ghostface. The rumored full-length project with Ghost has yet to be released.

In the last 2 years, Blu has gone from “impressive young talent,” to dropping the classic LP "Below The Heavens" with Exile, to being one of my favorite rappers working. I haven’t heard the entirety of his latest mixtape, Her Favorite Colo(u)r, as it just dropped on his Myspace page last night. But what I have heard is stellar–ranking among the finest work he’s done. Listen to “Amnesia,” complete with buoyant Billie Holiday sample, and try to argue differently. It is definately a themed, mostly instrumental based mix cd. Enjoy.
