On New Year's Eve 2020 (it was officially announced on New Year's Day...), MF DOOM, an intelligent masked rapper/producer, passed away.

MADVILLAIN's first album. If you have the impression that they are too stoic, too strange, too hardcore, please start with melodic sample tracks such as A5 (sample_2) and "Great Day" with label mates M.E.D. and Medaphoar.

Excluding the “Special Herbs” series, this is effectively their third album. It seamlessly blends humor, wit, and social commentary, offering a biting yet comical portrayal of a life tainted by vice, violence, and jealousy, all woven into a strange and unique worldview through food-related metaphors. A masterpiece of artistic excellence in every as ...Read more (Original Japanese text by AYAM)pect—from the selection of sampling sources to beatmaking and rhythmic sensibility.
