With close to two decades of music making under his belt, MF DOOM remains one of the most respected, original, and enigmatic voices in hip-hop. Always prolific, the emcee and beat maker has a vast catalog of non-album tracks, guest appearances, and collaborations. On his Unexpected Guests mix, DOOM collects the cream of the crop for a mix selected and sequenced by the Super Villain himself. With a list of co-conspirators which includes marquee level names such as Talib Kweli, Ghostface & GZA as well as underground heroes Vast Aire, CountBass D & Kurius, the music on this disc highlights DOOM’s ever-present trademark wit and taste for raw and ominous beats. The album will also feature a never before heard live version of DOOM’s classic “I Hear Voices” from the Operation Doomsday album. Peppered with his signature comic book dialogue and vintage sound clips, Unexpected Guests presents a treasure trove of DOOM obscurities which should shed light on material that even some hardcore fans may have missed. It’s a frenetic, virtuosic look at a true hip-hop original. Grab a sneak peek at some of the music in this preview trailer. Unexpected Guests will be out November 10th on Gold Dust.
