Madlib and MF Doom Reunite on “Avalanche”
Madlib and MF Doom reunite to finally release the official version of “Avalanche.”
Doom opens the track with his spoken word flow, “”I’d like to start off by thanking our sponsor/ For financing the parts for this Frankenstein monster/ Along with my partner who’s a bro of few words/ Who did this research with true nerds and two birds.”
The track will probably sound familiar to most fans of the duo. As Pitchfork pointed out, a short clip of the song has been living on the internet for a while now. Interestingly enough, the track is credited to both artists as individuals instead of their joint moniker, Madvillain, which they previously used on 2004’s Madvillainy.
The pair also released an action figure with the song. As the description states, The Figure’s gold case is removable, and the case itself opens for storage of, well, whatever you can fit in there.” The 8-inch figure was designed by Kid Robot and comes with an exclusive “Avalanche” 7″ vinyl featuring the song and the instrumental released through Madlib’s own label, Madlib Invazion. The whole package is going for $85.00 right here. If you want one, you better act fast because the Rapcats website warns it is only shipping 500 now. The rest of the supply will be available starting Feb. 2017.
Check out “Avalanche” along with a picture of the new action figure below. You can pick up the new action figure and vinyl exclusively over at Rapcats.
