"Take Me To Your Leader!"

Quote:
MF Doom, perhaps the most legendary figure in underground hip hop, returns. Only this time he’s a giant three-headed lizard from outer space.
"You should listen to the album for what it is and not expect it to be like the average "Rap" stuff you’re probably used to," Doom explains. "Geedorah is a space monster. He's not from the Earth. I made it different on purpose. A blend of ill lyrics and instrumentals. To me its way iller than any of the wack shit out now."
Across 13 tracks all produced, written, recorded, arranged, mixed and mastered by the man himself (though with a variety of vocal guests including Kurious and Scienz Of Life), Doom comes through with the unique style which has made him the King of the Underground – off-centre beats that owe much to his love of jazz, fantastically skilled, charismatic MCing and ideas galore.

"This whole album is Geedorah's alien perspective on humans," he explains. "This is done intentionally to show the listener a mirror image of his/herself and the way we see each other. On the album we cover different subjects ranging from race issues to the neglect of children. Some might find the word "N177er" offensive, or the line about the young girl not being able to read maybe considered a "bad taste" joke. All these insecurities are within us."

M.F. Doom's world domination charge continues. This album has been rumoured to have been in the Big Dada vault for ages, just waiting for the right time to unleash the sickness. That time is now. Thirteen tracks, six feet deep - with fellow Monster Island Czars guests down for the insane ride like Jet-Jaguar (M.F. Grimm), Rodan, Trunks, Hassan Chop, Gigan, Biolante, Stahhr and Mr Fantastik plus Lil' Sci & Id 4 Winds from Scienz Of Life. All produced by Doom under his Metal Faced Villain alias bringing again the incredible mad looped sample style so successfully showcased on recent projects including the killer Monster Island Czars album (now in on vinyl). Though this time the production is a bit more edgy and restless with some mad old school editing going on. Sample wise it's a mad mixture of forgotten soul string samples and lost cinematic jazz shot through Doom's unique production tapestry, it's the way he ties everything together. This is one mighty album that keeps Big Dada and M.F. Doom in pole position. A must purchase.
