Underground hip hop legend MF Doom passed away in 2020, leaving behind an undeniable legacy as the once-bearer of hip-hop’s most-legit shadow crown. He wasn’t the the king of anything by popular vote, but he certainly was sovereign over a rare kind of flow quality, especially adored by food lovers. Still few knew of Doom’s King Geedorah alias, which served as one of his earliest monikers while part of the underground crew Monsta Island Czars. Geedorah’s inspirations from old comic books and giant monster / slasher movies first cropped up on Take Me To Your Leader, a tone which would be set for years to come in later Doom material. The instrumentals are just as jaggedy and experimental, and form the perfect basis for the Ninja Tune reissue we have before us now.
