Patterning his image and logotype after the Marvel Comics supervillain Dr. Doom, the military personnel behind MF (Metal Face) Doom's iron mask is actually Daniel Dumile, aka Zev Love X, a fellow member of other Big Apple hip-hoppers KMD. First featured on the tertiary Bass single "The Gas Face," the London-born, Long Island-raised Zev made his debut with KMD a duet of years subsequently, along with his younger comrade and musical partner DJ Subroc. The 1991 record album Mr. Hood, released on Elektra Records, was portion of a short-lived course of Islamic Five Percent Nation hip-hop outings, along with efforts by groups wish Poor Righteous Teachers and KMD's labelmates Brand Nubian. However, Subroc was fatally injured in 1993 when he was smitten by a railcar, and when Zev and KMD returned the next class, it was with the even more than dangerous and miltant Bl_ck B_st_rds, an record album whose cover art only (featuring a Little Black Sambo-ish sketch lineament organism hanged) spelled the terminal of the group's contract with Elektra. With the record album in limbo, Zev went resistance for basketball team age, "recovering from his wounds" and oath revenge "against the industry that so disadvantageously misshapen him," according to his official bio, a reworking of Dr. Doom's origin. Meanwhile, Bl_ck B_st_rds was heavily bootlegged and Zev Love's fable grew, but few knew at number one that the rapper wHO began showing up at the Nuyorican Poets Café in 1998, freestyling with a stocking cover his side, was actually Zev. The inventive MC eventually ended the mystery in 1999, resurfacing in his new identity as MF Doom and devising up for lost time with a critically praised newfangled record album, Operation: Doomsday, on indie label Fondle 'Em Records. The undermentioned class saw the long-awaited official release of Bl_ck B_st_rds (finish with Sambo-style cover graphics), as well as several singles and an EP with comrade poetiser MF Grimm. In 2001, SubVerse re-released Operation: Doomsday and Bl_ck B_st_rds. A wealthiness of bootlegs, compilation appearances, mixtapes, and implemental albums (the love by DJ's Special Herbs series) surfaced over the age but no reexamination full-length until Doom introduced his change self, Viktor Vaughan, in 2003 with Vaudeville Villain. His team up with the multi-talented Madlib became Madvillain and their April 2004 release, Madvillainy drew rave reviews. Four months by and by Venomous Villain marked the refund of Viktor Vaughan with the second MF Doom album, MM… Food?, coming into court in November the same year. The erst promo-only Live From Planet X got its aboveground release in March of 2005 with Special Herbs, Vol. 9-10 following in July.
