Re: Kool Keith (i know i'm late on this.. whatever) Apparently out now on Funky Ass is the Dr. Dooom LP (tho I can't find it). Dr. Dooom is Octogon's arch enemy and he opens off the album killing off Dr. Octogon (probably because there's some tensions between Keith and the Automator). Production by Kutmasta Kurt. And it's got really funny No Limit imitation photoshop artwork of Keith with a big hamburger. July 13th is 'The Original Black Elvis' LP on Ruffhouse. Production by Keith himself (errr....?) plus Ultramagnetic reunion LP later this year (although it'll probably get pushed back) him and Sir Menelik are no longer pals since apparently Menelik jacked a beat for the Scarmanga album.. and while i'm on the hip hop tip. Freestyle Fellowship's "To Whom it may concern..." has finally been re-pressed on CD, so there is no reason no one should have it. It's one of the most overlooked hip hop albums ever. m_lt?
