Within moments of the beat revealing itself, the territory is familiar. At the heart of this carnival of bright colours and zany sounds is “Break In The Action.” Czarface & MF DOOM Releases like this are fan service on a major level. Czarface understand the thirst for collectibles that underpins so much of what makes comic book culture so enthralling.
#NEW MF DOOM FULL#
The cartoonish voice samples, the dense culture referencing, and a full colour comic book with the vinyl release. Czarface Meets Metalface was the final full-length project released in MF DOOM’s lifetime, and with Super What?, it’s been revealed that they were working on a follow-up. Czarface’s uncomplicated boom-bap then, is fertile ground for DOOM. DOOM covered a lot of ground, however it’s his simple old-school tunes that made him famous. Czarface’s Super What? is the first posthumous DOOM release, and “ Break In The Action” is the album’s stand-out song.įrom the first seconds of their 2018 album together Czarface Meets Metalface, it was clear Czarface and MF DOOM was always going to be a perfect match. He was a prolific artist, with several projects on the go at any given moment. New releases from MF DOOM were on the cards the minute the news broke of his death on New Year’s Eve.
After all, without the control and curation of the artist, who’s to say they would approve? But usually, this posthumous drip feed of material is unwarranted. Sometimes it’s for a good cause: J Dilla’s family are paying his medical bills off by selling his beats to other artists for songs and remixes. There is such a thing as too much content, as the wholesale asset-stripping of Kurt Cobain’s legacy shows. Unreleased material is usually unreleased for a reason. Either through still-living bandmates or relatives, we see all those sketches and B-sides left out to bleach in the sunlight of publicity, lacking context or explanation. All those half-done projects, the songs that hit the cutting room floor 20 years ago, the demo versions that have gathered dust in the vaults they creep out into the world and make themselves known. I t is inevitable that when a great artist dies before their time, unreleased material surfaces.
