There's a new 33 1/3 book about MF DOOM and Madlib's Madvillainy album on the way
The next book in the 33 1/3 series will be about MF DOOM and Madlib's 2004 classic joint album Madvillainy, and is written by Will Haggle.
The 152-page book is, according to a description, "written from the alternating perspectives of three fake music journalist superheroes," and features "interviews with real individuals involved with the album's creation."
On Halloween (31 October) MF DOOM's widow Jasmine Dumile paid tribute to her late husband and legendary rapper on Instagram to mark the two-year anniversary since his death. She wrote, "Today we celebrate DOOMSDAY for all those whom have gone before us. I now understand what Daniel was going through after his brother Raheem transitioned. It’s an ache that is so deep it does not go away. I cry when I speak of him and cry when I hear the music. It is tears of joy of having the pleasure to have been with the man whom many call DOOM, we call him Old Dad. You will always be missed. Thank you to all of the MF DOOM Fans. Thank you for all of your continued love and support. It means a lot."
The Madvillainy 33 1/3 book will be released on 9 March 2023, and is available to pre-order now.
