Kicking things off with the MF ep, an extended play split between MF DOOM and MF GRIMM with the instrumentals tacked on the end for good measure. Any hardcore fan will be familiar with the 3 DOOM tracks with the possible exception of the Doomsday remix that knocks just as hard as the original, 'No Snakes Alive' is an abstract masterpiece with the beat slowly creeping along then finally speeding up as each mc rips their verses (Rodan is the show stealer here) and finally 'Impostas' is classic DOOM, another murky beat with the Metal Faced Villain doing what he does best.

The Grimm side is equally as dope, sonically is takes a much different approach with a more tradition sound and songwriting style, the beats hit hard and Grimm brings his A game, his flow is smooth and his lyrics are Razor sharp, showcasing why he's one of the deepest mc's in the underground with simple yet effective lines that'll have you wearing out the rewind button. Having the instrumentals is a fantastic bonus as well, all the beats are dope and well worth the listen. The overall product is dope but this IS an ep meaning that in all reality we only have 7 tracks worth of music, most of which can be found elsewhere on either mc's albums. That being said though its a great starting point for new fans and a pleasant refresher for older fans alike.

Overall 3/5
