Metalface<\/strong> Records<\/strong> and Rhymesayers<\/strong> Entertainment<\/strong> present KMD\u2019s<\/strong> sophomore album, Black<\/span> Bastards<\/em>, reintroduced on red vinyl LP with expanded gatefold packaging in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the album\u2019s initial recording. The album will be available in stores on March 31.<\/p>\n

Following KMD<\/strong>\u2019s debut, the early 90\u2019s Hip<\/span>–Hop<\/span> group consisted of two partners \u2013 Subroc<\/strong> and his brother Zev Love X<\/strong> (better known today as MF DOOM<\/strong>). Recorded in 1993, their sophomore album Black<\/span> Bastards<\/em> was initially shelved before its release due to controversy around the album\u2019s cover art, and the group was subsequently dropped from their label, Elektra Records<\/strong>. In the fallout, Zev<\/strong> Love X<\/strong> would disappear before re-emerging years later as the masked supervillain MF DOOM<\/strong>. Although he would eventually secure an official release for Black<\/span> Bastards<\/em> in 2000, Ego Trip\u2019s<\/strong> Book of<\/em> Rap Lists (1999)<\/em> had already named it the most notable rap album of all time that was never commercially released. The album featured production from both members and included guest appearances from MF Grimm,<\/strong> Kurious<\/strong>, Lord<\/strong> Sear<\/strong> and more. With a sales history of over 75K+ units and over 40M+ streams, Black<\/span> Bastards<\/em> is a prominent and venerated project from DOOM<\/strong>\u2019s discography.<\/p>\n

Along with the red vinyl gatefold, Metalface Records<\/strong> and Rhymesayers<\/strong> are also redistributing Black<\/span> Bastards<\/em> on standard black<\/span> vinyl, as well as MF DOOM<\/strong>\u2019s debut, Operation: Doomsday<\/em>, also hitting stores on March 31. Both titles are indisputable classics that put Daniel Dumile on the path to becoming one of the greatest MC\/producers of all time.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the DOOM<\/strong> estate is offering exclusive KMD <\/strong>apparel to commemorate the anniversary. A limited release of beanies, hats, tee-shirts, long-sleeve shirts and hooded sweatshirts are available for pre-order at gasdrawls.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
