MF Doom - Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs Vol 7 & 8

New York's MF DOOM, working here under his Metal Fingers alias, turns raw material into gold. This long-running instrumental series threads together beats he crafted for himself and others, alongside standalone excursions that hold their own without a verse in sight. His source material is far-reaching - 70s soul loops, 80s r&b cuts, dusty TV snippets and weird children's record samples, all reassembled into something strange and seamless.

Tracks like 'Agrimony', 'Calamus Root' and 'Star Anis' are lopsided but compelling, looping just past comfort into hypnosis. Each one is named after a herb, and the metaphor works: these are medicinal, gritty, and full of hidden flavour. Across it all, DOOM's touch is unmistakable - playful, off-kilter, and entirely his own.
