Full of creative energy from the group that included the legendary MF DOOM (before he became DOOM), KMD's controversial Black Bastard album teases all of the great things to come from one of the worlds best MCs. Though sitting in the backseat restricted to production duties, DOOMs signature sound is in full form throughout this unearthed classic. - Hunter
Following their 1991 debut album, Mr. Hood, KMD shed one member leaving two remaining - Subroc and his brother, Zev Love X (better known today as MF DOOM). Originally scheduled for release in 1994, their sophomore album Black Bastards showed clear progression from their debut. It was a truly amazing record, both sonically and lyrically, full of youthful creativity and tinged with the stresses of growing up as Black men in urban America. Songs like the lead single What A N*gga Know, the slippery, bass-driven Get U Now, and the album's title track explore Black consciousness viewed through young-but-experienced eyes. Musically alternating between bouncy and raw, the tracks gave the MC's the springboard they needed to express themselves clearly.
