In the early ’00s MF Doom released an acclaimed 10-part ‘Special Herbs’ instrumental series, showcasing his talent off the mic.

“Introducing the world to the dusty, lo-fi loops that define his production aesthetic. In the years since, DOOM has supplied soundscapes for Ghostface Killah’s classic Fishscale album, produced an entire album for Masta Ace, and witnessed a new generation of emcees (including Joey Bada$$, Capital STEEZ, and Bishop Nehru) using Special Herbs beats on their breakthrough mixtapes.”

Originally self-released in 2004, ‘Special Blends Vol. 1 & 2′ featured Doom mixing instrumentals and classic hip-hop vocals.
