Special Herbs 7 & 8

Description

One of the most expansive instrumental hip-hop series to date, MF Doom’s lauded ‘Special Herbs’ collection assembles a mountainous collection of his beats, ranging from series exclusives to slightly reworked favourites he produced for himself and others. Released under the alias Metal Fingers, ‘Special Herbs’ succeeds at capturing Doom’s highly influential sound which continually breaks and reinterprets the rules of the game in favour of The Super-Villain. The world is a treasure trove of sounds, and the Metal-Fingered Doom accepts no limits; ’70s soul/funk classic, ’80s R&B hits, rap nostalgia, and even soundbites from children’s records & TV all find their place in the ingredients needed to perfect his recipes.
