Audio: DOOM x Jadakiss x Madlib [Medicine Show #13: The Black Tape]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.Madlib-MF_Doom_x_Jadakiss_Black_Tape

Give me Madliberty or give me def. Or: give me both--as is the case on this snippet of the best rhyme Jadakiss ever spat ("Run") cross-bred with MF Doom on a Madlib beat (2 beats, really. Tuff stuff--listen below). It is a teaser from Madlib's forthcoming Medicine Show 13: The Black Tape, which drops March 1st (pre-order here). Would have come out sooner but apparently the cover art was so dutty, stinking, filthy X-rated that nobody would print it! True story. Or at least that's what they said at Stones Throw:

Some who have seen this artwork describe it as "mutant porn." Others simply shake their heads, set it down, wash their hands. Now that an offshore press specializing in "fringe adult publications" has taken the job, the 'secret Medicine Show' will finally be released on March 1st.

Although a few loosies from this project were included on the limited edition vinyl Filthy Ass Remixes, this is the full 35-track, 60 minute CD. Comes with an 8-page booklet and um, collectible cover art. Strictly 18 and over. All of which reminds me--is anybody going to put together a Doom x Melanie Fiona mixtape when her new LP comes out and call it MF Doom Life? Food for thought, DJs.
