MF Borat - The Mask and the Moustache


This is a mysterious EP that has recently surfaced on the interwebs. Here’s the story behind it:
'In 2006, during a stint out west to promote his then new movie, Sacha Cohen, (aka Borat) met Daniel Dumile, better known as Zev Love X, or MF DOOM. Their blazing freestyle ciphers and mutual love of Purple Kush led to an impromptu recording of Doom’s ‘My Favorite Ladies’ verses (see Herbalisers’ Something Wicked…album) over a beat Borat had made back in ’05 with Kulki Boolchek, a Khazak producer. Later that year Doom ventured east, and recorded three more gems with Cohen at the castle of Rudolf II in Prague, renowned for its stone acoustics. DigDug bought the master off a based-out gypsy in East Oakland and the rest is history! **Please FREELY DOWNLOAD THESE GEMS**, as they have been labeled ‘Degenerate Music’ by the Putin administration and the whole album is banned in the greater East. Censorship will never extinguish true heat!'

I have no idea who made the beats, or whatever, but it’s a pretty nice EP all round. The track ‘Dedicated to Love’ is the highlight, with a deep fuzzy bassline. As an avid Doom fan, this will have to tide me over until the next Madvillain album, and Doom’s live album Expektoration, due in September on Gold Dust.
