Ultra Vybe Japan Vinyl & CDs

Review: This is a stone-cold classic from the legendary and late MF Doom that gets s deceiving special Japanese Edition reissue for its 20th anniversary, complete with fresh artwork by Sam Rodriguez. This one has long been revered for its inventive production, sharp wordplay and food-themed metaphors which blend humour with incisive social commentary as Doom explores themes of vice, violence and jealousy with playful yet profound storytelling. Tracks like 'Beef Rapp' critique conflict glorification, 'Hoe Cakes' examines indulgence and 'One Beer' delves into escapism and ego. With its witty, layered narratives and textbook beats, this one is a brilliant fusion of satire and social insight.
