[UPDATE: Worst. April. Fools. EVER.]

2015 is the year that keeps on giving. Today, (hip-hop gods be damned if this is an April Fools shenanigan) it’s been announced that the mighty MF DOOM & one of his greatest disciples, Flying Lotus, will join forces on the collaborative forthcoming Mask Of The North Star LP. We were unknowingly treated to a taste of this cosmic collision a few months back when FlyLo hit us with the brooding DOOM-assisted cut “Masquatch,” but it appears that’s just the tip. The album will host a litany of proper features from each of their worlds, including Thundercat, Quasimoto (Madlib), Jneiro Jarel, El-P, Thom Yorke, Carlos Santana and Gonjasufi. What’s more, the record will be dropping much sooner than you think, landing on digital and physical shelves May 5th via Lex Records. No preorder info is available just yet, so be sure to check back for the goods. Peep the tracklist and get a taste of the collaborative record by revisiting “Masquatch” below. And if you happen to be across the great pond, peep the diabolical duo in action when they take over Brixton Academy on May 1st, just in time to celebrate the new record.
