Daniel Dumile (“doom-uh-lay”) is a British born American hip-hop artist who has taken on several stage names in his career, most famously MF DOOM(standing for metal fingers/metal face doom). He has also been known as Zev Love X, King Geedorah, Metal Fingers, Viktor Vaughn, DOOM, and has appeared in several collaborative projects such as DANGERDOOM and Madvillain (a collaboration with Madlib. Little is known about his personal life though he did reveal in a 2006 interview on his MySpace page that he is married with two children, one of them teenage.
Dumile’s eccentric wordplay makes him a favorite of underground hip-hop fans. He is heavily influenced by American comic books (especially the Fantastic Four and their battles with Dr. Doom). Japanese science fiction is also an influence; the concept for King Geedorah (which is derived from Ghidorah) and the Monsta Island Czars comes from the Godzilla movie series. He is also renowned for bringing comedy back into the sometimes overly serious world of rap lyrics and a unique, sample-heavy production style.
His work with with Madvillain has been covered by the New Yorker, as has his entire career.
Early Years with KMD
Dumile, the son of a Trinidadian mother and Zimbabwean father, was born in Southeast London, Great Britain, in the London Borough of Bromley on January 9, 1971. The family then moved to New York and lived in Long Beach where he was raised.

I always delete whoever is featured in the track name, If I really want to know I'll look it up. I just hate when track names are like paragraphs long, when the song title is one name, but the featured people take up a shit ton of space.

You know what else should be higher? "I Hear Voices". Pretty much the best song on doomsday. Though I see there's a lot of tagging failures.

'?' should be way higher in the charts, it's a song i ignored at first but then realized just how incredible it is. It's also more addictive than crack.
