Before
MF
DOOM
donned
his
mask
and
became
one
of
the
most
prolific
MC-producers
of
modern
Hip-Hop,
he
was
a
member
of
KMD,
an
early
‘90s
rap
group
whose
work
still
goes
criminally
under-appreciated
to
this
day.
Following
their
1991
debut
album,
Mr.
Hood,
the
former
trio
shed
one
member
leaving
only
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
–
many
times
both,
concurrently
–
the
tracks
gave
the
MC’s
the
springboard
they
needed
to
express
themselves
clearly.
