Metal Fingers aka MF Doom – Special Herbs Volume 9 & 0

MF Doom – the demented mad scientist of hip-hop music and culture started out in the early 1990’s under the moniker Zev Love X. Since then personal tragedies and an ever evolving mind have spawned several alternate personalities - the Viktor Vaughn of “Vaudeville Villain” the King Geedorah of Monsta Island Czars and the musical stylings of Metal Fingers. They’re each unique, interesting, and independent facets of a producer whose true identity may never be revealed.

Choosing once again to wield the persona of Metal Fingers, in 2014 MF Doom unleashed his set of introspective instrumentals. He dubbed each set in this series his “Special Herbs,” which you’re free to interpret as either the ingredients he cooks up or the buds that he tokes up. It really makes no difference, because when Fingers aka Doom is inspired by his herbs, he serves up some of the best sonic concoctions to be heard anywhere.
