Electronica/IDM/hip hop guru Prefuse 73 is back. He’s got a new album on the way which is the follow up to 2006’s Security Screenings. In support of the album he’s been tearing clubs up from Moscow to Mexico.
He recently threw down a live set to a packed house at Club Air in Tokyo and we got our hands on it. Prefuse’s set are known for their unique blend of hip hop and electronica; not battling for the spotlight but sharing and enjoying it equally. The mix is filled with Missingtoof staples, MF Doom, Clipse, Battles, Voice Of The Seven Bells and more.
Prefuse 73’s new album ‘Preparations’ drops October 23rd on Warp Records. Visit Prefuse 73’s Myspace page to stream a few of the new tracks. If you like what you hear you can pre-order your copy here.
Daniel Dumile (”doom-uh-lay”) a.k.a. MF Doom has just re-released his out-of-print 2004 release MM..Food? on Rhymesayer Entertainment. The re-issue comes complete with chocolate scented wrapper, sticker, poster and a DVD. GorillavsBear posted ‘Potholderz’ from the album; go get it. Cop your special edition copy of the album here.
And while we’re on the MF subject, a little known fact is that Missingtoof actually gleamed their name from a classic MF Doom song. We’re such fanboys, we know. Listen to ‘Doomsday’ from 1999’s ‘Operation Doomsday‘ (the verse in question is around 2:50).
You guys already got these in your collection. If you don’t, don’t tell on yourself, just go re-up here. Add MF, the super villain on myspace and put him in your top 92.
