MF DOOM - Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs

NEW VINYL LP ON PLAYGROUND 2025

180 GRAM VINYL

One of the most extensive instrumental Hip Hop series to date, MF DOOM’s celebrated Special Herbs collection brings together an impressive array of his beats, from exclusive series pieces to slightly revisited favorites he crafted for himself and others. Released under the alias Metal Fingers, Special Herbs beautifully captures DOOM’s unique, influential sound, which continually pushes boundaries and redefines the genre in favor of The Super-Villain. The world of sound is rich and diverse, and Metal-Fingered DOOM embraces all limits; from ’70s Soul and Funk classics to ’80s R&B hits, rap nostalgia, and even soundbites from children’s records and TV shows, all come together to create his signature recipes.
