Doomstarks Set to Perform at SXSW

Penciled in as the headliners for the SXSW Takeover on March 17, the duo of MF Doom and Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, the two will perform on a card that also features Jay Electronica and Jazz Cartier. Being billed as "Live From The Other Side" you have to wonder if they are going to appear live in person, or show up by some kind of webcam or projection system. Either way, the fact that Doom and Ghost are back at it again together is an undeniably good thing. Could a new album be on the horizon?

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 & DOOM Are Premiering New Music At A Festival This Year

This October, the three-day long III Points Festival in Miami will feature a performance from Ghostface Killah and DOOM, but the masked rapper will appear  "from the other side of time, on a live screen," according to a recent press release. What exactly that means is unclear, but another tidbit hints at a hologram, saying, "transported Star Trek-style directly onto the III Points Festival stage" the performance "will bring a one-of-a-kind, interactive performance." And as for that new music, the press release also promises a live debut of something from that DOOMSTARKS ​album.

Watch BADBADNOTGOOD and Ghostface Killah's "Ray Gun" Video f/ MF DOOM

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.
