Ghostface Killah's Collaborative Album With MF DOOM Might Finally Be Dropping Soon

Fans of Ghostface Killah and MF DOOM know that the pair's long-promised collaborative project has always been somewhat of an enigma (it was first announced in 2005). Now, after nearly a decade in the making, it looks like we might finally have a release window for it. In an interview with Let's Link Radio, he suggested that they might be preparing to drop the project this February. "I talked to Doom people. Doom is ready now," he said. "So, he said he wants to drop that in February." 

Last we heard, the collaboration was set to be called DOOMSTARKS. The rappers released the song "Lively Hood" under that name back in September. However, considering all the different statements about the album over the years, it's always possible that things could change. During the interview, he also elaborated on some of his other upcoming work, including a Supreme Clientele sequel and his vaping company Wu-Goo. You can check out all of Ghostface's statements in the video above.

Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD release their new video for "Ray Gun" featuring MF DOOM. With Odd Future's Left Brain in the lead role as "The Mask," the Dennis Schroeder-directed video is actually more of a mini sci-fi adventure the plays out in a strip club before Left Brain finds himself in the middle of an alien encounter. While the long-awaited DOOMSTARKS album is supposedly coming later this year, "Ray Gun," will land on Ghostface and BBNG's upcoming Sour Soul album that is due to release on February 24. The album, which will also feature Danny Brown, Tree, and Elzhi, is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.

Ghostface Killah Says the DOOMSTARKS Album Will Finally Come Out in 2015

The mythical DOOMSTARKS album may just become real. In a reddit AMA Friday Ghostface Killah said his long-awaited collaboration with DOOM is coming in 2015.

The two officially released "Victory Laps" back in 2011, but the album never dropped as promised. Ghostface said the album was held up because he was waiting on DOOM—which sounds exactly like the infamous recluse.

We just hope we don't hear a similar explanation at the end of next year. We want to believe.

Ghostface Killah, DOOM, Chino XL tour

Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah, masked supervillain DOOM, and “The Puerto Rican Rhyme Slayer” Chino XL are teaming up for the Rap City 2012 tour.

In 2010 Rap City brought DJ Premier, The Beatnuts, Masta Ace & Edo G to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, and after a year off it’s back with Brisbane and Perth added to the tour schedule. And the impressive lineup is made even more enticing by the fact that Ghostface and DOOM putting the finishing touches on their long awaited, and delayed, collaboration album Swift & Changeable under the moniker DOOMStarks.

Although hip-hop tours have struggled recently with a near comical series of cancellations we’re confident that the this one will come together without a hitch, although the planned Rap City 2010 tour headlined by Blackalicious was cancelled “due to circumstances beyond their control”. However this year’s headliners do have a good track record with Australian tours – Ghostface will be returning to Australia following a successful solo Australian tour in 2009 and a visit with his Wu-Tang brothers last year, while DOOM (Printed in all CAPS, always) made his Australian debut last year with a run of sold out shows.
