Fans of masked rapper DOOM know the supervillian gets along surprisingly well with other rappers—Madlib (as Madvillian), Dangermouse (as Dangerdoom), Ghostface Killah (as DOOMStarks). But what to call this new partnership with Lex Records artist Jneiro Jarel? JJ DOOM of course.
While not as clever in title, the pair will release a full-length album, Key To The Cuffs, in May. You can check out the first song, “Rhymin’ Slang” after the jump, featuring Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio.
