MF DOOM is a British-American hip-hop artist recognized for his unique approach to rap, his iconic mask that he never took off and its exceptional production.

“MF Doom – Special Herbs Vol. 5 & 6” is part of a series of instrumentals produced by MF DOOM, showcasing his production talent and penchant for single samples.

The strength of “Special Herbs, Vol. 5 & 6” lies in the diversity of its inspirations from video games (DOOM), children’s series (Sesame Street) and various soundtracks. MF DOOM draws from an eclectic range of sources, fusing elements of classical music, funk, soul, rock and many other genres. Each sample is carefully selected and meticulously integrated, demonstrating the artist’s dedication to his craft.

A distinctive aspect of MF DOOM‘s “Special Herbs” series is the use of plant names as track titles.

The title of the album, “Special Herbs” (or “Herbes Spéciales” in French), therefore takes its origin from the plants, spices or extracts mentioned in the titles of the songs.

Each title is dedicated to a specific plant. “Pennyroyal” explores the traditional medicinal properties of this aromatic plant, while “Patchouly Leaves” immerses us in the world of patchouli, associated with purifying properties. “Lavender Buds” transports us with its lavender buds, prized for their calming scent, and “Orange blossom” celebrates the characteristic flavor and flagrance of this flower in the kitchen.

We have a particular attachment to this unique instrumental disc of its kind, which stands out for its captivating soundtracks “Orange Blossom” and “Black Snake Root” and its botanical evocations, a theme that we particularly appreciate .

This instrumental hip hop vinyl, with its captivating beats and original samples, will delight beatmaker fans who will find an inexhaustible source of inspiration and unique samples to enrich their own creations. DJs will also be delighted to integrate these diverse instrumental tracks into their sets to create exceptional atmospheres.
