About
MF DOOM, Masked mastermind of underground hip hop from London to New York.
Daniel Dumile, known as MF DOOM, was a British-born rapper and producer whose career spanned several aliases including King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn. Raised in Long Island, he co-founded KMD in the early 1990s before the group disbanded due to tragedy. His solo debut, Operation: Doomsday (1999), became a benchmark in underground hip hop. MF DOOM was recognized for his complex lyrics, unique delivery, and use of the iconic metal mask referencing the Marvel villain Doctor Doom.
His discography is rich with collaborations such as Madvillainy (with Madlib) and instrumental series like Special Herbs, available on several colored vinyl editions.
