A cassette single came in the new DOOM x Akomplice box set featuring two of my favorite east coast rappers of all time DOOM and Ghostface Killah. I have been listening to both of these guys going back to when DOOM was MF DOOM and making Mm...Food and of course Ghost Face was in the Wu-Tang Clan and making Fishscale. This isnt the first time these two have collaborated. Various Ghostface songs have been produced by DOOM and Ghostface has had a featured songs on every DOOM album since The Mouse and the Mask.
The cassette features a remixed single from DoomStarks track "Victory Laps". The only way that I got to hear the single was through a youtube video of someone it on their cassette player. Even though it wasn't the ideal way to get a good listen at the single it still sounded promising. The beat was remixed by Madvillian and sounds like it. With oddly placed piano samples and a little airy making sure to let DOOM and Ghost make the song with their verses. So where is the full length DoomStarks album?
This has been a record waiting to happen for way too long now. With all the collaborations it would seem inevitable, but maybe now is finally the time that these guys will get into the studio together for an entire record. Then again maybe this is just a tease to try and build hype for an album that is looking to be sold to the highest bidder. Only time will tell and hopefully these two will be able to at least put out an entire EP soon. <3
